Botanical source

Ormenis mixta and Ormenis multicaulis are perennial herbs of North Africa, particularly Morocco. Despite the 'chamomile' name, they are in a different genus from German and Roman chamomile.

Family Asteraceae. Compositional data for Ormenis multicaulis is unreliable due to limited research.

Produced mainly in Morocco.


Notes

The 'chamomile' name here is commercial, not reflecting close botanical relationship. The aroma also differs markedly from German or Roman chamomile.
