seems to be a perennial with long rootstocks covered with 

 former leaf bases. This apparently perennial character and 

 more fleshy leaf occurring on sheltered ledges of sea cliffs is seen 

 also here with another annual or biennial P/antago Coronopus. 

 On the west coast of Inverness-shire the leaves of the Matricaria 

 are more fleshy on the shores of the open sea than when 

 growing in estuaries.
