Many plants may have been called chamomile. The species usually cultivated for their heads drunk in a tea are:
- Chamaemelum nobile, Roman chamomile Template:Trim
- Matricaria chamomilla, true or German chamomile
- Tanacetum parthenium, feverfew.
Out of their medicinal properties, they share the fact that their heads show yellow tubular flowers and white radiate flowers. By extension, most Matricaria and Anthemis are called chamomile.
In Spain, the use of manzanilla or camomila as a digestive or relaxant drink is so important that the name has extended to many species (Pardo de Santayana et al., 2010).
