The small flower heads, which grow singly at the ends of the shoot tips, consist of a corona of white ligulate, daisy-like flowers and many (up to 400) yellow tubular disk flowers at the center.  Blooms in late spring through late summer. The fruits (seeds) are extremely tiny.  There are other species called chamomile.  Cases of mistaken identity may result in allergic reactions to the application of chamomile.  Consequently, buy chamomile in a pharmacy or health food store.<\/p>\n<p>Growing chamomile in the garden or in bowls or pots on the balcony or patio is rewarding.  Once the chamomile culture is established, no tending is necessary.  The seeds cast by this annual will produce plenty of new plants each year.  However, chamomile does need humus, nutritious soil that is not too heavy and plenty of sun.  If there is no rainfall for a prolonged period, the plants will need watering.<\/p>\n<p>Chamomile seeds are sold in every seed store.  Sow them in spring in well-prepared (loosened) soil, which has to be kept damp at first.  Because chamomile germinates in the light, broadcast the seeds and press them down very lightly.<\/p>\n<p>Harvest the flower heads as soon as they have opened, taking as little of the stalk as possible.  The entire herb is strongly apple scented.<\/p>\n<p><b>Chamomilla recutita or<br \/>\n            Matricaria recutita or<br \/>\n            Matricaria chamomilla:<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Smooth, apple-scented, erect annual; <nobr>6-36 inches.<\/nobr> Linear leaves are finely divided; somewhat more coarse and less scented than A. nobilis. Flowers daisy-like, <nobr>3\/4 inch<\/nobr> across; receptacle hollow within.  Flowers May to October.<\/p>\n<p><b>Other varieties:<\/b> Mayweed and others of the genus Anthemis, are commonly classified as weeds and are not cultivated as a rule; Yellow or Ox-eye camomile <nobr>(A. tinctoria)<\/nobr> which is a wild plant; Corn camomile <nobr>(A. arvensis)<\/nobr> a wild plant; <nobr>A. cotula<\/nobr> and <nobr>M. inodora<\/nobr> are wild camomiles, both of which are known as Mayweeds; <nobr>A. treneagne<\/nobr> does not bloom; <nobr>A. plena<\/nobr> has double white blooms.<br \/>\n            <a href=\"#top\"><font size=\"-1\">Back to Top<\/font><\/a><\/p>\n<hr size=3 width=80% COLOR=\"#004040\" align=\"center\">\n<h3><a name=\"Where\">Where Found<\/a><\/h3>\n<p><b>Anthemis nobilis:<\/b><br \/>\nAn old well-known home remedy  that grows freely everywhere.

The trouble is that German camomile <nobr>(A. nobilis)<\/nobr> and Roman camomile <nobr>(M. recutita)<\/nobr> or <nobr>(M. chamomilla)<\/nobr> or <nobr>(C. recutita)<\/nobr> are <nobr>2 distinct<\/nobr> plants with similar characteristics, but people familiar with one tend to think of it as the only chamomile.  Sometimes they are simply ignorant of the other plant; other times they are aware of it but choose to ignore it; and still other times they resort to the ploy of denigrating the other plant, attempting to disprove its legitimacy as a chamomile. <\/p>\n<p>The chamomile varieties are best known for their apple-like fragrance and flavor, qualities which surprise the uninitiated, for none of the chamomiles have any visual resemblance to an apple or apple tree.  The name, chamomile is derived from the Greek &#8220;kamai&#8221; meaning &#8220;on the ground&#8221; and melon (apple) for ground apple.<br \/>\n            The chamomiles are considered insect repellents.<\/p>\n<p><b>Anthemis nobilis:<\/b><br \/>\n            Chamomile was supposedly dedicated to the sun by the Egyptians because of its curative value in the treatment of ague (chills and fever).<\/p>\n<p>Throughout the Middle Ages, it was so popular that Culpeper didn&#8217;t even describe the plant.  In Spain the chamomiles were called Manzanilla, and the flowers were used to flavor the finest dry sherries.<\/p>\n<p>Back when ladies came down with the &#8220;vapors&#8221;, a cup of chamomile tea was often prescribed to relieve the female anxiety.<\/p>\n<p>Europeans have used chamomile medicinally since the 1600s.<\/p>\n<p><b>Chamomilla recutita or<br \/>\n            Matricaria recutita or<br \/>\n            Matricaria chamomilla:<\/b><br \/>\n            This chamomile is one of the oldest of herbal remedies, which is often noted as a valuable aromatic bitter, thus a tonic.<\/p>\n<p>Chamomile matricaria is consecrated to <nobr>St. Anne,<\/nobr> mother of the Virgin.  The botanical name, Matricaria, is from mater and cara&#8212;(beloved mother).<\/p>\n<p><b>Correct spelling:<\/b> both Chamomile and Camomile are correct.<br \/>\n            <a href=\"#top\"><font size=\"-1\">Back to Top<\/font><\/a><\/p>\n<hr size=3 width=80% COLOR=\"#004040\" align=\"center\">\n<h3><a name=\"Uses\">Uses<\/a><\/h3>\n<p><b>Anthemis nobilis:<\/b><br \/>\nA good nerve tonic helping to relax, sleep aid, appetite stimulant, colic, sciatica, gout, flu, nausea, and digestive aid.
