Colorado has three species of invasive chamomile; Corn, Mayweed, and Scentless.

Generally, the invasive chamomiles have white daisy-like flowers that grow at the end of branched stems. The leaves are alternate, 1-3 times pinnately divided. All are annual but Scentless may sometimes also be a short-lived perennial.

All are natives of Europe/Eurasia. They can be found along roadsides, in fields, in disturbed areas, and cropland.

The leaves of Mayweed chamomile leaves are similar to corn chamomile but are more oblong and not as hairy. Mayweed chamomile’s stems are ridged and sometimes reddish. Mayweed chamomile, also known as dog fennel, has a very unpleasant smell.

Corn chamomile is very limited in Colorado.

Scentless chamomile is the more common of the three. It has thread-like leaves. The single stems branch about halfway up and the flowers tend to be all at the same height, forming a flattish inflorescence.

Native Plant Spotlight: Mentzelia

The Mentzelia genus is native to the southwestern United States and can be found from California into Canada. It thrives in desert climates and there are 24 species found in Colorado according to Jennifer Ackerfield's Flora of Colorado. This genus can be difficult to key as some species can only be distinguished by seed characteristics.

Mentzelia go by many common names including blazing star (not to be confused with liatris), stickleaf, evening stars, and moonflowers.
