Week 1 Invasive Plants Flashcards
Ageratina adenophora
eupatory
Family: Asteraceae
Habitat: occurs mainly in creek beds and forest clearings, in areas with steep slopes, or in disturbed areas. It prefers frost-free areas with abundant rainfall. It can be found in redwood forest and coastal canyon habitats; but is most seriously invasive in mild coastal riparian areas, forested areas, or grasslands
Native to: Mexico
