Scientific profile
Tripleurospermum inodorum is a herbaceous, non-woody plant in the Asteraceae family, growing up to 0.7 m tall. It bears broad leaves and forms arbuscular mycorrhizal associations. Ecological indicator values place it in sunny, moderately warm settings on fresh, nutrient-rich soils with a neutral to weakly acidic reaction. Derived habitat preferences, with moderate confidence, highlight nutrient-rich meadows and intensive grassland as a primary habitat, with secondary occurrences on nutrient-rich ruderal sites. The plant flowers from June to November, producing blooms that offer high nectar and pollen values (score 5), making it attractive to pollinating insects. Its diaspores are small, averaging 0.37 mg, and mean leaf area is approximately 261 mm². Tripleurospermum inodorum is recorded as an established archaeophyte in Great Britain, with a first record dating to 1500.
