mayweeds

Pineapple-scented weed blooms

Mayweeds are weedy plants of the daisy family with finely divided leaves and small flower heads resembling chamomile.

The name typically refers to scentless mayweed or stinking mayweed, common in disturbed ground and along roadsides.

Despite the unpleasant smell of some species, mayweeds have been used in folk medicine.
