Chamaemelum fuscatum

Chamaemelum fuscatum, commonly known as dusky dogfennel or dark chamomile, is a small annual herb in the aster family. It is characterized by its low-growing habit, pinnately divided leaves, and composite flowers with distinct outer ray and inner disk florets.

This species is native to Europe, particularly favoring coastal and sandy habitats in regions like the Iberian Peninsula. It has also been introduced to other parts of the world, including California, where it grows as a non-native wildflower.

It holds minor ecological value as a native wildflower in its endemic European range and serves as a component of coastal plant communities.
