smallflower thoroughwort
Eupatorium semiserratum
Eupatorium semiserratum, commonly called smallflower thoroughwort, is a North American plant species in the family Asteraceae. It is native to the southeastern and south-central United States, found in all the coastal states from Maryland to Texas and inland as far as Missouri and Kentucky.
Eupatorium semiserratum stems sometimes more than 100 cm (40 inches) tall and are produced from short rhizomes. The inflorescences, which can be present from late July-October, are composed of a large number of small white flower heads with 5 disc florets but no ray florets. This species is similar to Eupatorium linearifolium but has smaller heads of flowers and stems which branch near the tips rather than near the base. The plants previously known as Eupatorium glaucescens or Eupatorium cuneifolium are now classified as E. semiserratum or E. linearifolium.
