Chamaemelum
Also called Chamomiles
Chamaemelum is a small genus in the daisy family, best known through Roman chamomile (C. nobile), grown for its daisy-like flowers and aromatic foliage. Most grown members are low, mat-forming herbs that want sun, light soil and good drainage.
Chamaemelum is a small genus of plants in the daisy family commonly known as chamomiles or dogfennels. Perhaps the best-known species is Roman chamomile, Chamaemelum nobile. These are annual or perennial herbs, rarely exceeding half a meter in height and usually bearing solitary white daisylike flowers with yellow centers. They are native to Europe but most species can be found scattered in other continents where they have been introduced. The genus consists of only two species and is of the Asteraceae family.
