All I know is that it comes from the Kabardino-Balkaria region, in the area of Mount Elbrus....... which one could probably get a clue from by the species name. :D

Russian website that I often find has handy info.... cannot find the url right now. I use google translate to help with the text... usually gives enough info for me to find what I'm looking for.

I think I found the anthemis info when I was researching another Elbrus plant some time ago.

Mark, try this:
www.plantarium.ru/page/view/item/3184.html
www.agbina.com/053056049124053054052.html
I'afraid both sites are in Russian.

Mark, hope it is more or less understandable. Two words can perplex as they are not translated at all.
Dernovinki is similar to mats. Lepestkovidnye means petal-like (the second type of the flowers for nearly all compositae around the flower head. Generative shoots are supposed to be flower stems.
So mashines will never be able to replace people
