[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Matchweed / turkey tangle / Capeweed plus lots of other common names.

Phyla nodiflora.

Verbenaceae.

Matchweed derives from appearance of flower head as a match head. Found in moist sandy areas.

This one photographed in wetlands near Naples Florida.

Although originates in central and Southern America I have also found this in Northern Greece in Epirus near Albanian border.
