- Comments
- This somewhat obscure taxon has been variously considered a hybrid, a variety of Eupatorium rotundifolium L., or a species. According to Flora of the Southeastern U.S., it is an apomictic, polyploid derivative of the hybrid E. perfoliatum × rotundifolium. See Comments under map of E. rotundifolium.
- Habitat
- Marsh edges, open swamps, bogs, and boggy clearings. Apparently rare in the Coastal Plain; additional field and herbarium studies are needed because this taxon has often been confused with Eupatorium rotundifolium.
