When I spotted this single flower amidst the green herbaceous layer of the meadow, I assumed it was chamomile again. But there was only one. The flower had about 15 petals and a large rounded yellow center. The flower was over one food tall. I couldn't see any leaves at all because the foliage was so dense in this area.
Upon digging a bit, I saw a very clear alternate leaf arrangement. The leaves had a deep toothed pattern and an interesting few tiny leaflets where the larger ones touch the stem.
