Google Images says Pineappleweed

Wikipedia says Matricaria discoidea “commonly known as pineappleweed, [3] wild chamomile, disc mayweed, and rayless mayweed, is an annual plant native to northeast Asia where it grows as a common herb of fields, gardens, and roadsides. [4] It is in the family Asteraceae . The flowers exude a chamomile / pineapple aroma when crushed. They are edible and have been used in salads (although they may become bitter by the time the plant blooms) and to make herbal tea.” And goes on to say “The greens can be washed and eaten, and both the flowers and the whole plant can be steeped to make tea, [6] described as excellent by one field guide. [7]

However Edible Wild Food says “Often mistaken for chamomile”
