Hier soll die Echte Kamille (Matricaria recutita L) im Vergleich mit anderen Kamille-Arten stehen. Matricaria inodom L. und Matricaria discoidea DC. sind Arten ihrer Gattung, wobei die Falsche Kamille allein durch ihren Namen »Falsche Kamille« einen Vergleich fordert. Die Strahlenlose Kamille steht der Echten im Geruch nahe. Chamaemelum nobile L. wird in südlichen Ländern (z.B. Südfrankreich, Italien) als Heilpflanze kultiviert. Ihre rasenartige Wuchsform drückt eine polare Geste aus. Die Wuchsform von Antloemis cotula L. und Ambemis arvensis L. ähneln der im Frühjahr ausgesäten Kamille. Die drei sich stark gleichenden Arten Antbemis tinctoria L., Antbemis cretica L. ssp. cretica und Anthemis triumfetti L. haben hinsichtlich ihres starken Rosettenwachstums eine Ähnlichkeit zur überwinternden Pflanze. Die fleischige, wässrige Art Antbemis maritima L. mit ihrem kräftigen, eigenen Geruch ist eine Besonderheit unter allen Arten und Anthemis sancti—jobannis Stoj.‚ Stef. et Turn hat ihre Besonderheit im grossen Blatt. Anthemis austriaca ]acq. steht in ihrer Wuchsform Anthemis comla L. nahe. [...]
N1 -Descriptions of selected species of the sub-family Asteraceae are compared with the true camomile Matricaria recutita L. Gestures of the different species can be ranked according to various principles, which are related to Goethe’s idea of archetype. As a result, each species exhibits a particular gesture, i.c. the dissolving of Matricaria recutita L. by its warm-sweet fragrance accompanied by the evaginating of the plant with respect to blooming and seed production. On the other hand plants can be found, like Anthemis tinctoria L., that develop persistent clinging to the ground with stowed main sprout, showing dry-hard and simple-faced leaves and bound fragrance. Plantforms between these two polarities, like Matricaria inodora L., exhibit a sturdy and straight main sprout, soft, finely primate leaves, without fragrance and a concentration of bitter taste. The well-known medical plant Matricaria recutita L. represents an extreme: It overstresses the aspect of blossoming and warming and reflects its healing capacity in the realm of warmth and metabolism of man.
