Organoleptic Characteristics

[Tanacetum parthenium] has an odor and taste analogous to those of chamomile.

Source: United States Dispensatory (1918) [3]

Macroscopic Characteristics

A tall, perennial, branching herbaceous plant, with bipinnately divided leaves, the divisions being ovate, and compound flowers in a corymb.

[The flowers may be distinguished from] those of the true chamomile plant, Anthemis nobilis, which they closely resemble, especially when double ... by their peculiar odor, their small receptacle, which is, moreover, rounded and flattened above, instead of being conical and somewhat pointed as in the Anthemis, and by the tubular five-toothed central florets, which in the chamomile are small, few, and scarcely visible, but in the two former species are large, very numerous, and very long.
