Ageratina Oppositifolia

Whiteweed, scientifically known as Ageratina oppositifolia, is a flowering plant native to the tropical regions of the Americas. It is recognized for its fluffy white or grayish inflorescences that resemble clouds, giving it its common name. This plant is often found in disturbed soils, along roadsides, and in open areas where it thrives in full sun. While it is sometimes considered a weed due to its invasive tendencies, it also holds cultural and medicinal significance in various indigenous communities. Its unique appearance and ecological role make it an intriguing subject for both botanists and nature enthusiasts.
