features

Anthemis chia is an annual stem therophyte that reaches heights of 5 to 40 centimeters. The bracts are blunt and have a distinct dark brown or black skin edge. There are ray florets and these are fertile. The tubular flowers are cup-shaped and suddenly expand in their upper half. The fruit base is hemispherical or hemispherical-egg-shaped. The fruits of the ray florets have a large, narrow, translucent ear that is as long as the fruit. This is sometimes the case with outer tubular flowers. The remaining fruits have a thick and very short crown. In the form of Anthemis chia f. inornata Greuter, Matthäs & Risse , the latter applies to all flowers.

The flowering period extends from January to April.

The number of chromosomes is 2n = 18.
