Several species of Anthemis are cultivated as garden ornamentals, especially golden marguerite, or yellow chamomile (A. tinctoria). Mayweed (A. cotula) is a strong-smelling weed that has been used in medicines and insecticides. Chamomile tea, used as a tonic and an antiseptic and in many herbal remedies, is made from Chamaemelum nobile, or Anthemis nobilis. Wild chamomile comes from Matricaria recutita and is also native to Eurasia.
