Vegetative characteristics

Tanacetum styles are mostly perennial , rarely annual , herbaceous plants or rare half bushes or shrubs . Many species lignify to a greater or lesser extent at their base. They form rhizomes as persistence organs. They are mostly aromatic plants.

The alternate leaves are stalked or sessile. The leaf blades are rarely simple, they are usually pinnate.

Generative characteristics

Are predominantly of cup-shaped part inflorescences (often in the form of a composite Schirmrispe ) total inflorescences , rarely a single basket-shaped inflorescence is present only. The flower heads have a diameter of rarely 3 to, usually 5 to over 22 millimeters. The (rarely 20 to) usually 30 to more than 60 bracts are in (rarely two) usually three to five rows. Chaff sheets are not available. The flower heads contain 10 to over 21 ray-flowers and 60 to over 300 tubular flowers. The mostly female, fertile or sterile ray florets are white or yellow. The hermaphroditic, fertile tubular flowers are yellow.

The achenes are usually five to ten ribs (four to over twelve ribs). The pappus consists of only one membranous, crown-shaped border; there is rarely no pappus.

Sets of chromosomes

The basic chromosome number is x = 9. Polyploidy is often present.

Pyrethrum

The insecticide pyrethrum is obtained from the dried flowers of Tanacetum species by crushing or extraction with solvents. The "Montenegro or Dalmatian pyrethrum" is selected from the Dalmatian insect flower , insect repellent herb ( Tanacetum cinerariifolium , Syn. : Chrysanthemum cinerariifolium , pyrethrum cinerariifolium ), however, the "Armenian, Persian or Caucasian insect repellent" from the Caucasian insect flower ( Tanacetum coccineum , Syn. : Chrysanthemum coccineum , Pyrethrum roseum , Pyrethrum carneum ). The Pyrethrum species were a genus of their own, but are now part of the Tanacetum genus .

Plants that supply pyrethrum are preferably grown in or exported from Africa (e.g. Tanzania , Kenya ), Central America (e.g. Ecuador , Colombia ), New Guinea and Japan .
