Achillea millefolium or common yarrow, a flowering plant native to temperate regions of the Northern Hemisphere.

It’s foliage is slightly pungent, and hence its familiar name of Old Man’s Pepper. The Icelandic appellation of this plant, Vall humall, Field hop, seems to imply that it has been used instead of hops in that island, as it still is in some parts of Sweden.
