"Tanacetum" is a genus of about 70 species of flowering plant in the family Asteraceae, native to temperate regions of the Northern Hemisphere.Fact|date=June 2008

("Tanacetum parthenium"); several other species are also known as tansies. Other common names include Bachelor's Buttons, Bitter Buttons, Boerenwormkruid, Buttons, Ginger Plant, Gold-buttons, Ponso, Solucanotu, Tanaceto, Tansy, Yomogi-Giku.Fact|date=June 2008

The name "tansy" is also sometimes given, improperly, (e.g. in the western United States) to ragwort, because in those areas ragwort is known as "tansy ragwort".Fact|date=June 2008

"Tanacetum" species are used as food plants by the larvae of some Lepidoptera species including Bordered Pug, Grey Pug, Lime-speck Pug, Tawny Speckled Pug, Wormwood Pug and the "Coleophora" case-bearers "C. chrysanthemi" (feeds exclusively on "T. corymbosum"), "C. tanaceti" (feeds exclusively on "T. vulgare") and "C. trochilella".Fact|date=June 2008
