Feverfew
Feverfew, a perennial herb native to Europe. It was once believed to be effective against fever, and the name means “puts fever to flight.” Naturalized in North America, the feverfew grows along roadsides and in waste places. It is one to three feet (30 to 90 cm) tall and bears small flowers with white petals and yellow centers. The gray-green leaves have a strong odor. A double-flowered variety, as well as the common feverfew, is grown in gardens.
The feverfew is Chrysanthemum parthenium of the composite family, Compositae.
