Chromolaena ivifolia called ivy-leaf false thoroughwort,[4] or ivyleaf thoroughwort,[5] is a species of flowering shrub in the family Asteraceae. It is native to North America and South America, from the south-eastern United States (eastern Texas, Louisiana, southern Mississippi, southern Alabama, and Florida) to Argentina.[6][4][7][8][9]

Chromolaena ivifolia is a perennial herb or subshrub up to 150 cm (5 feet) tall. Flower heads are produced in groups at the ends of branches. The heads contain red, purple, or blue disc florets but no ray florets.[4]
