Anthemis cotula (weed) L. - (mayweed chamomile)
This weed is native to Europe and surrounding regions, but is now widely distributed in other temperate and subtropical regions around the world. It can be recognised by its strong smell and is also called 'stinking chamomile'.
A. cotula is regarded as invasive is some areas and a weed of pastures and crop fields, especially in slightly acidic, nitrogen‐rich, clay‐loam soils. It is unpalatable to grazing animals and results in off‐flavours in cow's milk. Further, it can cause dermatitis and eye irritation in humans.
For a review see Adhikari et al. (2020).
