Tanacetum
Genus
Called “tansies” in GBIF
Tanacetum is a genus of about 160 species of flowering plants in the aster family, Asteraceae, native to many regions of the Northern Hemisphere. They are known commonly as tansies. The name tansy can refer specifically to Tanacetum vulgare, which may be called the common tansy or garden tansy for clarity. The generic name Tanacetum means 'immortality' in Botanical Latin, since tansy was once placed between the burial sheets of the dead to repel vermin.

Latest finding
When plants face drought and insect attack at the same time, they respond more strongly than to either stress alone — and those responses differ significantly between species and even between populations of the same species. A few chemical signals, however, appear universally across all three plants studied.
