Sea Mayweed

(Matricaria maritima or Tripleurospermum maritimum).

Sea mayweed is most common on the low, ungrazed Jyllinge islets, where it forms yellow and white beds together with sea asters, grass-leaved orache, sea wormwood and various thistles.

Its near relation, scented mayweed, or wild chamomile, which is used for chamomile tea, was found only on the tiny islet north of Øksneholm, but here it was in fact subdominant.
