- Comments
- Eupatorium linearifolium is closely related to E. glaucescens Ell., both often having been lumped under the name Eupatorium cuneifolium Willd. FNA synonymized E. glaucescens under E. linearifolium, but the Flora of the Southeastern U.S. (Weakley et al. 2023) treats them as distinct species and attributes both to Virginia. An examination of online specimen images confirms their distinctiveness and presence in the state.
- Habitat
- Sandhill woodlands and pine barrens, sandy or peaty clearings; known historically from several collections made by Fernald and Long in the 1930's and 1940's, and one recent collection in 2002. Rare, s. Coastal Plain; known from Suffolk City and Southampton County.
