Achillea ptarmica var. macrocephala(family: Compositae)

Japanese name: Ezo-nokogirisou

This plant grows at the field in northern Japan. Its leaf is dentate deeply. The colour of flower is white to pale pink. Japanese name Ezo-nokogiri(Hokkaido-saw) is from that Ezo is old name of Hokkaido-Island, and the sarrate leaf of this plant looks like saw.
