Filago vulgaris Lam.

Native

Common Cudweed is an autumn- or spring-germinating annual of dry, open, acidic to neutral and occasionally calcareous habitats including open grassland, quarries and rocky ledges, sand-pits and dunes, sandy heaths and tracks, and arable and other cultivated ground (G. Halliday in Preston et al., 2002).

In Norfolk, Common Cudweed is frequent and widespread, but like other plants of this type of habitat it is less common in the Fens, the Broads and the Claylands.
