If you crush a bit, it smells like pineapple. It’s generally quite a tiny thing and grows in gravelly driveways here in Maine. It’s not a garden pest.

Matricaria discoidea, commonly known as pineappleweed, wild chamomile, disc mayweed, and rayless mayweed, is an annual plant native to North America and/or northern Asia, introduced to Europe where it grows as a common herb of fields, gardens, and roadsides. It is in the daisy family Asteraceae.
