Cladanthus mixtus, commonly known as the Moroccan chamomile, is a mostly Mediterranean species of flowering plant in the aster family, often considered a weed but is also distilled for essential oil, which changes in composition depending on where it grows.

[3] It has been introduced to Madeira, the Azores,[4] Uruguay and is sparingly naturalized in a few widely scattered locations in North America.

Individuals of the species Cladanthus mixtus have a yellowish to orange base with white flower petals.

[7] A study confirms that the Cladanthus mixtus species has different oil compositions depending on the area in which the plant is grown.

In some cases the same species was found to produce oils that would not be used in mixtures of skin ointments and other products.
