I just looked this plant up in the ITIS database, and it says Matricaria discoidea and not Matricaria discoides as it is claimed [that ITIS specifies] in this article. Somebody know knows a lot about plants should clarify/fix this. mnemo 16:01, 8 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

this article is poorly written... i'll have to get back to this laterBlueaster 05:28, 10 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Calm the nerves isn't a really good term. Reduce stress or reduce anxiety, mayhaps? EBC

It is disappointing to see this plant referred to as pineapple weed. We have always known it as Chamomile. This goes back at least six now seven generations, Volga German ancestry, in the plains and Black Hills of South Dakota. I don’t get the pineapple. The scent is Chamomile. The smaller buds have a scent like strawberries.--GMJ71 (talk) 04:10, 11 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Chamomile is the common name for a number of species in the family Asteraceae. I think this could be noted in the article, but as pineapple weed is the common name for this specific species only, it seems more useful to refer to the plant as such. 174.227.67.217 (talk) 20:20, 19 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Native range

Is this really native in N America, as stated in the article, or is it introduced, as also stated in the article? And if it is introduced, is it increasing? There is a statement that it is increasing in the UK and US. I'm in the UK and though it is very common, I don't think it is increasing and nor do my reference books (it was introduced centuries ago and the population level has stabilised).

Actually the whole article needs a rewrite ... will have a go if I find time Newburyjohn (talk) 22:27, 1 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The origin is disputed. The "Washington Flora Checklist" quotes various sources, e.g., "Possibly introduced, considered native in [Oregon]" (Oregon Vascular Plant Checklist: Asteraceae; Kenton Lee Chambers, Scott Donald Sundberg; Oregon Flora Project, Oregon State University, 2000), "Introduced" {Synthesis of the North American Flora. Version 1.0, 1999 Kartesz, J. T. & C. A. Meacham. 1999. Synthesis of the North American Flora. Version 1.0. North Carolina Bot. Garden, Chapel Hill, NC.), etc.[1] Much of the current text was added by an anonymous editor in June who said it was largely from www.ibiblio.org/pfaf/cgi-bin/arr_html. Its license is incompatible with Wikipedia and no fair use is claimed (CC BY-NC-SA 3.0).[2] I'm reverting that edit as a copyright violation. --Walter Siegmund (talk) 04:03, 2 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
