'''''Anthemis cotula''''' ('''Dog-fennel''', '''Mayweed''', '''Pig-sty daisy''', '''Pig-sty-daisy''', or '''Stinking Chamomile''') is an annual flowering plant distinguished by its strong odour, which is often considered unpleasant. It can be found in northern [[Europe]] as well as [[North America]], growing on roadsides and beside fields. It may also invade cultivated soil and is therefore considered a [[weed]].
