- Comments
- Incompletely mapped; varieties of Conyza canadensis were not often been recognized in older Virginia floristic studies. Moreover, this var. resembles, and often co-occurs with, C. canadensis var. canadensis, which makes it easy to overlook.
- Habitat
- Fields, roadsides, clearings, dunes, and other open, weedy habitats. The distribution and status of var. pusilla are incompletely known; recent field and herbarium studies suggest that this taxon is widely overlooked and under-documented; it is probably frequent across the southern two-thirds of the Coastal Plain and Piedmont, less so in the southern mountains. However, additional work is needed to fully delineate its distribution in the state.
