- Its name comes from Greek words for ground apple, because its scent reminds people of apples.
- The yellow centre of its flower head is hollow and cone-shaped, which tells it apart from similar daisies.
Could you guess it from clues?
WildGuessr picks a secret animal, plant, fungus, stone, prehistoric creature or space object and you ask yes-or-no questions about it, such as its group or where it grows. The fewer clues you need, the more points you score.
