Eupatorium sessilifolium Linnaeus var. sessilifolium . Sessile-leaf Eupatorium. Phen: Jul-Oct. Hab: Open upland woodlands and woodland borders, especially calcareous or mafic. Dist: S. NH west to se. MN, south to n. GA, n. AL, n. MS, n. AR, and e. KS.
Origin/Endemic status: Native
Taxonomy Comments: Grubbs, Small, & Schilling (2009) discuss the genetics of E. sessilifolium; most of the species’ distribution consists of agamospermous triploids, with sexual diploids only known from two disjunct areas of the southern Appalachians (w. VA, and w.NC-e. TN). There may be merit to the taxonomic recognition of the diploids and the triploids.
