(2007) A new subtribal classification of the tribe Anthemideae (Compositae). Willdenowia 37(1): 89–114. Most species of plant known as chamomile belong to genera of this tribe.

As of 2006 there were about 1800 species classified in 111 genera. In 2007 the tribe was divided into 14 subtribes, including Glebionidinae, the source of hybrid garden marguerites.
