Anthemis is a genus of aromatic flowering plants in the family Asteraceae, closely related to Chamaemelum, and like that genus, known by the common name chamomile; some species are also called dog-fennel or mayweed. Anthemis are native to the Mediterranean region and southwest Asia east to Iran. A number of species have also become naturalized in the United Kingdom and other parts of the world.<ref>Altervista Flora Italiana, genere Anthemis includes photos and European distribution maps</ref><ref>Linnaeus, Carl von. 1753.
