From the Paper:

"Chamomile is a botanical herb, also known as anthemis nobilis (common manzanilla, or maythen chamomile), anthemis cotula (mayweed, maruta cotula, dog chamomile, maruta foetida, or dog-fennel), and matricaria chamomilla (German or wild chamomile) (Grieve). The plant has been documented as having been used by the ancient Egyptians, Greeks, and Spaniards for medicinal purposes (Grieve). Chamomile is an herb that can be reproduced annually, or re-grown from new plants each year. The leaves of the plant are light green in color, with a feather-like appearance. Its flower, which blooms on the stem from May through October, has a "daisy" appearance. Chamomile is produced as an herb for foods, for medicines, and as ground cover for protecting other crops (Grieve)."
