Synonyms: Ageratina repens; Ageratina ventillana; Eupatorium harrisii; Eupatorium riparium; Eupatorium ventillanum; Fleischmannia repens Ageratina riparia, commonly known as Mistflower or Creeping Croftonweed, is a species of flowering plant in the aster family, native to Mexico, Cuba and Jamaica. |
Ageratina riparia is a popular ornamental plant that has been widely spread from its home region in Central America. It is naturalised in many tropical regions of the world and is invasive in some such as Hawaii, Australia and the islands of the Indian Ocean. It can form dense quasi monospecific stands which crowd out native plants, limiting their regeneration. |
