About Chromolaena odorata (Chromolaena)

Chromolaena odorata - It is a fast-growing shrubby perennial that forms dense bushes about 2.5 to 6 m (8.2 to 19.6 ft.) tall when climbing on other plants. The leaves are lanceolate, pubescent, with a serrate margin, and grow opposite. The stems branch freely and develop lateral branches in pairs. The older parts of the stems are brown and woody near the base; the tips and young shoots succulent with a green to purplish brown color. The root system is fibrous and does not penetrate beyond 30 centimeters (11.8 inches) in most soils. The flower heads are borne in terminal corymbs of 20 to 60 heads on all stems and branches. The flowers are white or pale lilac and when dry have a feathery aspect. Scientific name: Eupatorium odoratum Family: Asteraceae
