Eupatorium scabridum Elliott. Common name: Roughleaf Eupatorium. Phenology: Late Jul-Oct. Habitat: Pine savannas, wet pinelands, dry, gravelly oak savannas and probably oak-shortleaf pine savannas and open woodlands, powerlines, roadbanks (in grassland remnants). Distribution: SC south to n. FL, west to AR, LA, and OK.

Origin/Endemic status: Endemic

Taxonomy Comments: This plant is believed to be an allopolyploid and apomictic derivative of the hybrid E. rotundifolium × semiserratum. In some areas it apparently consists only of short-lived diploids, but in others (according to Godfrey & Wooten [1981] especially in SC, AR and LA) to occur as populations of polyploid apomicts. It resembles E. rotundifolium, but has cuneate leaves with a less prominent pair of lateral veins, narrower leaves, and is more likely to have 3-whorled leaves (as E. semiserratum often does).
