HERB - sore feet

[RAISYA]

Lady Alison,

>The picture of camomile I've seen is daisy-like.  Pyrethrins are daisies.
 >Is there a relationship, here?

Sorry, I thought I had already answered this and just discovered the e-mail
didn't get posted.  Pyrethrins aren't closely related to chamomile, perennial
chamomile is Chamaemelum nobile (or Anthemis nobilis) while pyrethrum is
Chrysanthemum cinerariifolium, a particular species of single-flowered
chrysanthemum.  But they are both Compositae (I think that's the "family" but
I've never quite sorted out the order for the scientific classifications).
That's according to THE COMPLETE BOOK OF HERBS by Lesley Bremness, both
apparently have had other Latin names in the past.  There's also an annual
chamomile, Matricaria recutita, which I think is also a Compositae.

I hope that helps more than it confuses things <G>.
