Ageratina roanensis (Asteraceae), a New Combination for an Endemic Species from the Southern Appalachian Mountains

Lamont EE. 2018. Ageratina roanensis (Asteraceae), a New Combination for an Endemic Species from the Southern Appalachian Mountains. Phytoneuron. 2018(77):1-3

ABSTRACT: Ageratina roanensis (Small) E.E. Lamont, comb. nov., is proposed based on Eupatorium roanense Small (Asteraceae). This species, which is endemic to the Southern Appalachian Mountains of eastern North America, has been treated for many years as a variety of Ageratina altissima (L.) King & H. Robins. [=Eupatorium rugosum Houtt.] but differs consistently from it in morphology and ecology.
