Anthemis Cotula
''Anthemis cotula'', also known as stinking chamomile, or mayweed, is a flowering annual plant with a noticeable and strong odor. The odor is often considered unpleasant, and it is from this that it gains the common epithet "stinking". In pre-colonial times, its distribution was limited to the Old Continent and Africa; though it was established in most of Europe, it was not present in Finland, Ireland, or the northernmost reaches of Scotland, in spite of the fact that these countries feature climatic regions favorable to this plant and are in proximity to countries where the species is native, such as Russia, Estonia, Lithuania and England. It has successfully migrated to the New Europes where it can be found growing in meadows, alongside roads, and in fields. The name "cotula" is the Latin form of ''kotylē'', the Greek word for "small cup", describing the shape of the flowers; it was assigned by Carl Linnaeus in his work ''Species Plantarum'' in 1753. ''Anthemis cotula'' is ...

Oncosiphon Suffruticosus
''Onocosiphon suffruticosus'' (often spelled ''suffruticosum''), commonly known as the shrubby mayweed, is a flowering plant native to Namibia and the Western Cape and Northern Cape provinces of South Africa. Additionally, it can now be found in France, Australia, and the USA. Description Shrubby mayweed is an annual plant, flowering from September to December in barren, sandy soils, such as the shores of salt marshes. The bisexual flowers consists of many yellow buttons around in diameter composed only of disc florets, with a corymb inflorescence that can grow to be up to 30 cm wide. It grows knee-high (around 50 cm tall) and has feathery gray-green leaves that have pinnatisect and glabrous morphology and an irritating smell. It produces fruits that are brown in color with white tufts of hairs that help in wind dispersal. The seeds are wind dispersed after production from october to January. Unlike some of it relatives (Foveolina and Pentzia) its fruits do not c ...

Matricaria
''Matricaria'' is a genus of flowering plants in the chamomile tribe within the sunflower family. Some of the species have the common name of "mayweed," but this name also refers to plants not in this genus. Most are very common in the temperate regions of Europe, Asia, and America, as well as in northern and southern Africa, and some are naturalised in Australia. ''Matricaria occidentalis'' is native to North America; other species have been introduced there. These are hardy, pleasantly aromatic annuals, growing along roadsides in ruderal communities and in fallow land rich in nutrients. Though many are considered nuisance weeds, they are suitable for rock gardens and herb gardens, and as border plants. Their many-branched stems are prostrate to erect, glabrous, and very leafy. Their bipinnate leaves have numerous linear, narrowly lobed leaflets. The flowers are radially symmetrical. The greenish-yellow capitula are semi-spherical. The white ray florets can be present ...

Common Name
In biology, a common name of a taxon or organism (also known as a vernacular name, English name, colloquial name, country name, popular name, or farmer's name) is a name that is based on the normal language of everyday life; and is often contrasted with the scientific name for the same organism, which is Latinized. A common name is sometimes frequently used, but that is not always the case. In chemistry, IUPAC defines a common name as one that, although it unambiguously defines a chemical, does not follow the current systematic naming convention, such as acetone, systematically 2-propanone, while a vernacular name describes one used in a lab, trade or industry that does not unambiguously describe a single chemical, such as copper sulfate, which may refer to either copper(I) sulfate or copper(II) sulfate. Sometimes common names are created by authorities on one particular subject, in an attempt to make it possible for members of the general public (including such interested par ...

Anthemideae
Anthemideae is a tribe of flowering plants in the family, Asteraceae, and the subfamily Asteroideae. They are distributed worldwide with concentrations in central Asia, the Mediterranean Basin, and southern Africa.Oberprieler, C., et al. (2007) A new subtribal classification of the tribe Anthemideae (Compositae). ''Willdenowia'' 37(1): 89–114. Most species of plant known as chamomile belong to genera of this tribe. As of 2006 there were about 1800 species classified in 111 genera. In 2007 the tribe was divided into 14 subtribes, including Glebionidinae, the source of hybrid garden marguerites. Genera Anthemideae genera recognized by the Global Compositae Database as March 2022: *'' × Anthematricaria'' *'' × Anthemimatricaria'' *''Aaronsohnia'' *''Achillea'' *''Adenanthellum'' *''Adenoglossa'' *''Ajania'' *''Ajaniopsis'' *''Allardia'' *''Anacyclus'' *''Anthemis'' *'' Arctanthemum'' *''Argyranthemum'' *''Artemisia'' *'' Artemisiella'' *''Athanasia'' *'' Belli ...
