I have it in my pantry, dried.
My first guess was chamomile, until I realized that this entry was brought to us by the letter "O" :-)

We keep a shaker on the table, so my husband can add it to just about anything, along with crushed chiles.
Amazing how it looks at this magnification!

We have both Mexican and Turkish dried "o" on hand. We used to grow it in our yard - it was great to add fresh "o" to the sauce!
