Tanacetum coccineum, or more commonly known as Pyrethrum or Painted Daisy, is native to the Caucasus mountains of Asia and is sometimes referred to as the Persian chrysanthemum. The genus Pyrethrum no longer exists in contemporary taxonomy, yet the classical name "Ëœpyrethrum" is still commonly given to those divided plants reclassified as either Chrysanthemum or Tanacetum.
