Brickellia eupatorioides, or false boneset,[2] is a North American species of flowering plants in the family Asteraceae. It is widespread in Mexico from Chihuahua to Oaxaca, and in all regions of the contiguous United States except New England, New York, and the West Coast.[3]

Brickellia eupatorioides is a perennial up to 200 cm (80 inches) tall, growing from a woody base. It produces many small flower heads with yellow, lavender, or maroon disc florets but no ray florets.[4]

Ecology

[edit]

B. eupatorioides is commonly found in grassland communities.[6] It is fire tolerant[6] and persists through repeated annual burns,[7] potentially becoming more frequent over time with repeated summer burns.[8]
