Nipponanthemum nipponicum, common names "Nippon daisy" or "Montauk daisy," is a plant species native to coastal regions of Japan but cultivated as an ornamental in other regions.[3][4] It is now naturalized as an escapee along seashores in New York and New Jersey.[5][6] It is the only species in the genus Nipponanthemum, formerly considered part of Chrysanthemum.[7][8]

Nipponanthemum nipponicum is a shrub up to 100 cm (40 inches) tall. Most of the alternate leaves are clustered near the top of the stem. Flower heads are up to 8 cm (3 inches) across and are borne singly. Ray flowers are white, disc flowers usually yellow but sometimes red or purple.
