Matricaria chamomilla L.
Collector/Expedition: Don, George
Collection number: 118
Country/Territory: United Kingdom:Scotland:VC83 Midlothian
Collecting locality: United Kingdom:Scotland:(VC 83) Midlothian:My specimens were gathered near Edinburgh, in cultivated fields, but it may be considered as a rare occurence in Scotland
Description: Not specified
Miscellaneous notes: I have observed this plant as a common weed in nurseries and gardens near London, particularly on the Surrey side. I have seen a plant in Fifeshire nearly twice the size of this, the radii always reflexed, the segments of the leaves much broader, and the smell very fragrant. May this be the Matricaria suaveolens of English authors?
