Cretian Mat Chamomile, also known as Cretian Daisy, May Daisy or Cock Daisy, is an extremely rare perennial flowering herb native to the dry, stony slopes of Sultan Dag, on the western edge of the Anatolian Plateau, Turkey.
Shortly rhizomatous grey cushions of pinnate leaves and bright yellow globular-shaped flower heads that look as if they’re floating above the plants.
