Explanation

Common tarweed.
Specimens kept in the Dublin Botanic Garden. Tarweed is a heavily scented annual alien plant probably originating from western North America, which some botanists describe as resinous, composite, with little white (mountain tarweed) or yellow (common tarweed) daisy-like flowers. Occasional specimens can be found in the Wicklow mountains and the Mountains of Mourne areas.
