Ageratina jucunda, called the Hammock snakeroot, is a North American species of plants in the sunflower family. It is found only in the southeastern United States, in the states of Georgia and Florida.[3][4]

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.[5]
