The genus has been split into several genera, such as Dendranthema, Leucanthemum and Tanacetum. But there is a growing consensus to merge back Dendranthema into Chrysanthemum. Image:Red mums.jpg|left|thumb|Chrysanthemums can be yellow, white, or even bright red, such as these. Chrysanthemums were cultivated in China as a flowering herb as far back as the 15th century BC|15th century BCE. An ancient Chinese city was named Chu-Hsien, meaning "chrysanthemum city". The flower was introduced into Japan probably in the 8th century CE, and the Emperor of Japan|Emperor adopted the flower as his official seal. There is a "Festival of Happiness" in Japan that celebrates the flower. The flower was brought to the Western World in the 17th century. It was named by Carolus Linnaeus from the Greek language|Greek prefix chrys-, which means golden (the colour of the original flowers), and -anthemon, meaning flower.<br clear=left> Modern chrysanthemums are much more showy than their ancient relatives. The flowers occur in various forms, and can be daisy-like, decorative, pompons or buttons. This genus contains many hybrids developed for horticultural purposes. In addition to the traditional yellow, other colours are available, such as white, purple, and red. In some counties of Europe, chrysanthemums are symbolic of death and are only used for funerals or on graves. In the United States, the flower is usually seen as more positive and cheerful.

The resulting beverage is known simply as "chrysanthemum tea". The leaf|leaves of several species are edible, and in particular Chrysanthemum coronarium|C. coronarium (the crown daisy or garland chrysanthemum) is grown commercially in East Asia as a leaf vegetable, known as tung ho (zh-cp|c=茼蒿|p=tónghāo) or shingiku (Japanese language|Japanese: シンギク). In China, the greens are often stir frying|stir-fried simply with garlic and dried chile peppers.
