Golden chamomile 

Golden chamomile, also known as golden marguerite, (lat. Anthemis tinctoria) is an erect, clump-forming, shrubby perennial with yellow, daisy-like flowers and finely divided, fern-like, aromatic, green leaves which are whitish and woolly beneath. It is a species common throughout Europe - yet its genus name comes from the Greek name for this plant; specific epithet means 'used for dyeing'. It produces excellent yellow, buff, and golden-orange dyes, used in the past for fabrics, and even to give a blonde hair color. In ancient times, it was also used for food and wine coloring. 

In Thrace, it grows in Leivaditis, Echinos, the settlement of Galani, Papikio Mount, and Dadia.
