Looks like a population of a white-flowered Crown daisy

I am confused if this population found at Ta' Qali is the ornamental Argyranthemum frutescens, or Matricolaria, or something else. Wild ? native ? Escape? Nat. Alien?

Not Anthemis urvilleana?

It was not aromatic, and a much larger plant (sub-shrub of the size of a soccer ball). Argyranthemum frutescens I saw was very large compared to this, while Matricolaria have dome shaped receptacles (and the ones I saw less shrubby) though it may vary according soil type.

to continue the discussion.

This is Anacyclus clavatus (= A. tomentosus) not Anthemis chia!! Confirmations welcomed ?!

It is definitely Anacyclus, because I have a photograph of seeds and they are winged. So it must be Anacylcus tomentosus, as stated by MWP

To be fair, wolf mentioned it first. Glad that this spp is also solved.
Plant Id is like detective work!
