EDITORS COMMENTS
This botanical illustration showcases Anthemis cotula, commonly known as mayweed chamomile or matricaria chamomilla. Belonging to the Asteraceae or Compositae family, this flowering plant is an important member of the Eudicot clade, which includes a vast array of flowering plants with two embryonic seed leaves. The mayweed chamomile is a low-growing, branched herb, characterized by its daisy-like flowers. Each flower head is composed of numerous tiny florets, arranged in a compact, discoid structure. The plant's leaves are long and narrow, with a serrated edge, and they emit a distinctive, pleasant aroma when crushed. Mayweed chamomile is native to Europe, Asia, and the Mediterranean, and it is now widely distributed throughout the world as a common weed. This plant is an Angiosperm, a type of seed-bearing plant, and a Dicot, meaning it has two cotyledons or seed leaves. It is also an important member of the Magnoliophyta division, which includes all flowering plants. The mayweed chamomile is closely related to Matricaria chamomilla, or common chamomile, another well-known plant in the Asterid subclass of the asterales order. Both plants have been used for medicinal purposes for centuries, with mayweed chamomile having potential anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. This exquisite botanical illustration, held at the Botany Library Plate Collection at the Natural History Museum in London, provides a stunning and detailed representation of the mayweed chamomile's beauty and complexity. It serves as a testament to the rich history of botanical art and the ongoing fascination with the natural world.
