I think yes Matricaria chamomila L. (syn: M. recutita L.), with characteristic convex disc and recurved ray florets, combined with finely dissected leaves.

Saw this flower by the roadside in Rome in May 2016.
Requested to provide ID.

Probably Matricaria sp.


Can this be Matricaria chamomilla as per Gurcharan ji’s post (recurved florets and finely dissected leaves)


No, leave appear to be different.


Out of 2 sp., Matricaria discoidea DC. and Matricaria chamomilla L.,  having distribution in Italy, Matricaria chamomilla L.  looks more matching.

Identification required for Asteraceae species from kashmir: 4 high res. images.
pedunculate, solitary or in corymbs Ray-florets white 
Location: Anantnag kashmir
Note that it doesn’t have any unpleasant smell like in Anthemis cotulla Or matricaria.
It have some type of orange smell


Looks close to Matricaria chamomilla L. !


No sir….


I think … is right, M. chamomilla, see my post from Uttarakhand

German chamomile (Matricaria chamomilla) is a flowering plant in the Asteraceae family. The herb smells slightly like an apple, which may explain its name—chamomile is Greek for “ground apple.”

Not agree with Matricaria sp.
Please look at the disc floret …
Phyllaries centrally dark greenish or brownish, oblong, , . Ray florets 10–25; corollas (4–)10–13(–20) mm. Disc corollas 1–2.5 mm.


In that case, pl. check:
https://efloraofindia.com/2011/02/06/anthemis-cotula/


Not matched..,

It resembles with Tripleurospermum inodorum


Tripleurospermum inodorum has not been reported from India/Kashmir. Before making sure check achenes: they should be triquetrous with 1 adaxial and two lateral ribs, and two distinct resin sacs at tip, ray florets 1 cm long, if they are 5 mm long or less it could be T. parviflorum which is reported from Pakistan and in FBI.
Matricaria would have dorsi-ventrally compressed achenes, with 5 ribs on one side lacking resinous sacs, ray florets 5-8 mm long in M. chamomilla


Sure, I will check all the characters


Is the receptacle solid or hollow? In Matricaria the receptacle is hollow.


What is the final id?


Matricaria chamomila
