Summary[edit]

Description
English: Sneezewort (Achillea ptarmica). This is a common flower, found in damp grassy places.

Its flowers are quite similar to those of Yarrow (A. millefolium), but the finely dissected leaves of the latter are very different: 550905.

Carman Hill is visible, right of centre, in the background.

[Regarding the common name of this plant, the OED comments that its dried leaves were "powdered and used as a sternutatory" (i.e., to induce sneezing, for its supposed medical benefits). The specific name "ptarmica" is from Gk. "πταρμικός" (ptarmikós: "causing to sneeze").]
