Cotula (Greek, small cup, the bases of the clasping leaves forming a hollow or basin). Compositae. Small diffuse or much-branched strong-smelling annual or perennial yellow-flowered herbs, a few of the perennials sometimes used as carpeters in rock-gardens.
 
Leaves alternate, toothed, lobed or pinnatisect: heads pedunculate, hemispherical or bell-shaped, many-fld. and discoid; outer or marginal florets nearly or quite apetalous, usually pistillate and fertile; disk- florets 4-toothed, fertile or male; torus naked; pappus not evident: achene glabrous, compressed.—About 50 or 60 species, largely in the southern hemisphere.
