Ageratina jucunda, called the Hammock snakeroot, is a North American species of plants in the family Asteraceae. It is found only in the southeastern United States, in the states of Georgia and Florida.[4][5] It is a perennial herb growing up to 3 ft (0.91 m) tall.[6]

Etymology

[edit]

Ageratina is derived from Greek meaning 'un-aging', in reference to the flowers keeping their color for a long time. This name was used by Dioscorides for a number of different plants.[7]
