Chamomile is the common name for a number of plants. The most common "chamomiles" are Anthemis, Chamaemelum and Matricaria.
For Anthemis, chamomile generally refers to Anthemis arvensis, Anthemis punctata and/or Anthemis tinctoria. If you look these up, you will see that they have a daisy-like flower.
Chamaemelum refers to Chamaemelum nobile, which used to be called Anthemis nobilis until about 10 years ago when the name was changed. And again, has a daisy-like flower. This is the one that is most frequently used medicinally and used for chamomile tea.
Then there is Matricaria recituta which also has a daisy-like flower.
So, all of these are commonly called chamomile but are very different plants and this doesn't include all of the species that share the common name either. Some are Roman chamomile, some are German chamomile, etc. depending on the genus and species. Herbal and medicinal use is determined by researching each one for it's uses.
