Bellis perennis is a common European species of daisy, of the Asteraceae
family, often considered the archetypal species of that name. Many related
plants also share the name "daisy", so to distinguish this species
from other daisies it is sometimes qualified as common daisy, lawn daisy
or English daisy. Historically,
it has also been commonly known as bruisewort
and occasionally woundwort
(although the common name woundwort is now more closely associated with Stachys). Bellis perennis is native to western, central and northern
Europe, but widely naturalised in most temperate regions including the Americas and Australasia. Source
