Please try our next iteration of the Michigan Flora Online here. Beginning on February 1, 2023, michiganflora.net will point to this new site.

The new site offers several benefits over the existing website, including real coordinate mapping, giving a clearer view of the density of documentation as well as more precision about plant distributions and their link to landforms. We will also have the ability to update species pages more regularly, both in terms of new collections and as more existing Michigan specimens are georeferenced. In addition, we have a better photo display, and offer indented keys.

Anthemis tinctoria of Michigan Flora.

A Eurasian species, cultivated and occasionally escaped with garden debris or otherwise. Roadsides, refuse areas, railroads, vacant lots, fields, and shores. First collected in 1922 in Emmet Co.

The ray flowers are fertile, and retain their cheerful strong yellow color when dry.

Plants of Tanacetum bipinnatum subsp. huronense with a domed receptacle might be keyed here, but can easily be distinguished by lack of chaff on the receptacle and very short rays (less than 4 mm). Cota tinctoria has a chaffy receptacle and long rays.
