Ageratina sodiroi is a species of flowering plant in the family Asteraceae. It is endemic to Ecuador, where it is widely distributed in the Andes.[1]

This plant grows as an herb, sub-shrub, or shrub. It grows in forests and upper Andean vegetation types up to 3500 meters in altitude.[1]

Etymology

Ageratina is derived from Greek meaning 'un-aging', in reference to the flowers keeping their color for a long time.[4]

The specific epithet of sodiroi refers to Luis Sodiro (1836–1909), who was an Italian Jesuit priest and a field botanist,who collected many plants in Ecuador.[5]

It was first published in Phytologia vol.19 on page 217 in 1970.[2]
