Tansy is a flowering herbaceous plant with finely divided compound leaves contains beta-sitosterol as the major sterol and yellow, buttonalpha-like flowersamyrin as the major triterpene. It has a stoutTansy also contains sterols stigmasterol, somewhat reddish, erect stem, usually smooth, 50–150 cm (20–59 in) tallcampesterol and cholesterol, and branching near the toptriterpenes beta-amyrin and taraxasterol. The leaves are alternate, 10–15 cm (3.9–5.9 in) long and are pinnately lobed, divided almost successful therapeutic application of this herb may be due partly to the center into about seven pairs presence of segments, one or lobes, which are again divided into smaller lobes having saw-toothed edges, giving the leaf a somewhat fernlike appearance. The roundish, flat-topped, button-like, yellow flower heads are produced in terminal clusters from mid-to-late summer. The scent is similar to that more of camphor with hints of rosemary. The leaves and flowers are toxic if consumed in large quantitiesthese compounds; the volatile oil contains toxic compounds including thujonehowever, which can cause convulsions and liver and brain damage. Some insects, notably the tansy beetle Chrysolina graminis, have resistance to the toxins and subsist almost exclusively on the plant.results are inconclusive<ref name="chemical composition"/>
