'''''Anthemis''''' is a [genus](/source/genus) of aromatic flowering plants in the [family](/source/Family_(taxonomy)) [Asteraceae](/source/Asteraceae), closely related to ''[Chamaemelum](/source/Chamaemelum)'', and like that genus, known by the common name '''[chamomile](/source/chamomile)'''; some species are also called '''dog-fennel''' or '''mayweed'''. ''Anthemis'' are native to the [Mediterranean region](/source/Mediterranean_region) and southwest [Asia](/source/Asia) east to [Iran](/source/Iran). A number of species have also become naturalized in the [United Kingdom](/source/United_Kingdom) and other parts of the world.<ref>[http://luirig.altervista.org/flora/taxa/floraspecie.php?genere=Anthemis Altervista Flora Italiana, genere ''Anthemis''] includes photos and European distribution maps</ref><ref>[https://www.biodiversitylibrary.org/page/358914#page/335/mode/1up Linnaeus, Carl von. 1753.

There are around 100 species within this genus.<ref>{{Cite web|title=How to Propagate and Grow Anthemis ?|url=https://www.floristlondon.co.uk/how-to-propagate-and-grow-anthemis|access-date=2020-08-08|website=Florist London|language=en-GB}}</ref>

''Anthemis'' species are used as food plants by the [larva](/source/larva)e of some [Lepidoptera](/source/Lepidoptera) species including ''[Orthonama obstipata](/source/Orthonama_obstipata)'' (The Gem) and ''[Bucculatrix anthemidella](/source/Bucculatrix_anthemidella)'', a leaf-miner which feeds exclusively on ''Anthemis tinctoria''.

==Cultivation and uses==
Several species and [cultivar](/source/cultivar)s are available for garden use.  ''A. punctata'' subsp. ''cupaniana'' and ''Anthemis tinctoria'' 'E.C.
