Anthemis rosea
Anthemis rosea is an annual plant found mostly in the eastern Mediterranean areas of Greece and south western Turkey. It prefers basic soils and is found in gravelly or rocky habitats mostly on limestone.
Like other members of the Anthemis genus it is an aromatic plant yielding various oils when crushed.
