The Tales:
“Athanatos” means long-lasting or immortal in Greek, a reference to the long lasting dried flowers of the Tanacetum vulgare – whose flowers were placed on tombstones in Ancient Greece.
The specific epithet means “dense-growing” , from the Amanus mountain range of Adana Province in Anatolia.
Nota bene: There has been some botanical and human confusion between Tanacetum densum subsp. amani and Tanacetum haradjanii – most densum are sold as haradjanii but that is not who they actually are. The true haradjanii have very fine, lacy leaves – resembling those of Artemisia camphorata.
Origin:
Mountains of Turkey/Syria
