Cotula anthemoides is a species of flowering plant in the Aster family that is widely distributed across Africa and southern Asia. It has also been introduced to Albania, France, and Poland.[1]

Description

The species grows across the ground, with the ends of the branches sometimes growing upright. It lacks hairs and has several branches up to 20 centimeters long. The leaves have small stalks and are a stretched oval shape, around 2–4 cm long and 1.5–3 cm wide. The capitula are roughly globe-shaped and yellow, with a diameter of 4–6 mm. Each capitulum is solitary on its own thread with stalks 4–5 cm long. The whorl of bracts below the flowers is more or less saucer shaped. The outer florets make a very small corolla, while the disc-florets are twice as long. The fruits are oval shaped and around 1 mm long, with narrow wings and a pale-brown color. The plant flowers from March to June.[2]
