Emadzadeh Depai-tment of Biology, Faculty of Science, University of Ferdovvsi, Mashhad,Iran Members of the genera Anthemis and Matricaria (Compositae-Anthemideae) are known as 'Camomile". They have long been known because of its medical properties and are today widely used in pharmacology. For this reason, the need for studying various species of 'Camomile' is increasingly felt. A survey of the literature shows tliat little research has so far been done on these medical genera, especially in Iran. Tliis study, done for the first time in Iran, was carried out on the existing species found in the east of Iran (Khorasan, Sistan and Balouchestan provinces) which include 6 species of Anthemis and one species of Matricaria. In the morphological part of the study, the specimens were collected and identified and ultimately 67 qualitative and quantitative properties were extracted for a numerical taxonomy. In the anatoimcal part, cross-section of the roots and stems of the species were prepared and studied after being stained. An anatomical description was presented for every species and ultimately 21 qualitative and quantitative properties were extracted for a numerical taxonomy. In the next part of the study, , wood analy- sis, the specimens were studied from different angles. Finally, the specimens were analysed witli the help of the software SPSS and through cluster analysis using Wards method. The taxa studied in this work are as follows: Anthemis odontostephana A. triumfetti (L.) All., A. altissima L., A. austro-iranica Rech. ?.,A. sp., A. hyalina DC, ^. rhodocentra Iranshar, and Matricaria recutita Fig. 2. Some excursion participants in National Botanical Institute van.
