Ageratina wrightii (Wright's snakeroot)[4] is a North American species of plants in the family Asteraceae. It is native to the southwestern United States (New Mexico, southern Arizona, western Texas ) and northern Mexico (Tamaulipas, Nuevo León, Coahuila, Chihuahua, San Luis Potosí, Durango, Zacatecas, Aguascalientes, Jalisco).[5]

Etymology

Ageratina is derived from Greek meaning 'un-aging', in reference to the flowers keeping their color for a long time. This name was used by Dioscorides for a number of different plants.[6]

The plant is named for American botanist Charles Wright (1811-1885).[7]
