Including: Anthriscus (chervils) is a common plant genus of the family Apiaceae, growing in Europe and temperate parts of Asia.

The genus grows in meadows and verges on slightly wet porous soils.

One species, Anthriscus cerefolium is cultivated and used in the kitchen to flavor foods.

Anthriscus species are used as food plants by the larvae of some Lepidoptera species including the mouse moth (recorded on cow parsley).
