Feverfew: This plant is pretty common in the UK as well as other parts of Europe and America. Latin names are Tanacetum parthenium and Chrysanthemum parthenium. Common names are feverfew, bachelor's buttons and featherfew. Feverfew is still the most common name. You may need to check with an herbalist or naturopath if having difficulty finding it.
