Eupatorium anomalum
Eupatorium anomalum, commonly called Florida thoroughwort,[3] is a North American species in the sunflower family. It grows in the southeastern United States from Alabama to Virginia.[4] Molecular investigations suggest that it originated as a hybrid between E. serotinum and E. mohrii but it is well-established on its own as a distinct species.[3]
