description
Vegetative characteristics
Chamaemelum species are annual or perennial , herbaceous plants . The alternately arranged leaves are two to three times pinnate with linear leaf sections.
Generative characteristics
The flower heads are stalked, medium-sized. The bracts are in two or more rows and become larger from the outside in. The flatly arched, hemispherical to conical cup base is not hollow and covered with blunt chaff leaves . The flower heads contain only tubular flowers or tubular and ray flowers . Ligulate flowers are usually present, female or sterile. Your corolla tube is two-winged, flattened and has a protruding, white, entire or two to three-toothed tongue. The corolla of the tubular flowers is yellow and has an appendage at the base that encloses the tip of the fruit.
The achenes are slightly compressed at the sides and have no distinct ribs. One pappus is missing.
Systematics
The genus Chamaemelum was established by Philip Miller in The Gardeners Dictionary ... Abridged , 4th Edition, p. 315 in 1754 . A synonym for Chamaemelum Mill. Is Ormenis (Cass.) Cass. The genus Chamaemelum belongs to the subtribe Santolininae from the tribe Anthemideae in the subfamily Asteroideae within the family Asteraceae . As is often the case in this tribe, the assignment of the species to the genera is often unclear and changes frequently. The species numbers for the genus range from two to six.
The two species always counted in the genus Chamaemelum are:
- Roman chamomile ( Chamaemelum nobile (L.) All. )
- Chamaemelum fuscatum (bread.) Vasc. (Syn .: Anthemis fuscata bread. ): It occurs in Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Spain, France, Corsica, Sardinia, Italy, Sicily and Albania. In Tenerife she is a neophyte.
The following species are also included in the genus Chamaemelum :
- Anthemis triumfettii (L.) DC. (Syn .: Chamaemelum discoideum All. )
- Cladanthus mixtus (L.) Chevall. (Syn .: Chamaemelum mixtum (L.) All. )
