Sneezewort

DateSat 2009-09-19

Sneezewort, Achillea ptarmica.  Sneezewort is similar to the closely related yarrow (Achillea millefolium) but has fewer largish isolated flowers instead of the many small flowers that are clustered into inflorescences on yarrow.  Also, the leaves are not feathery like those of yarrow, but are are straight and narrow:
