What is the scientific name for chamomile today?

Answer

Chamaemelum nobile is the scientific name chosen today for the plant. However, it is also known by its synonym Anthemis nobilis, attributed by Linné in 1735. Fifty years later, the Piedmontese botanist Carlo Allioni reclassified it in the genus Chamaemelum.
