Discussion

East of the Mississippi River, abaxial leaf faces of var. purpureum tend to be glabrous and rarely pubescent along the major veins. West of the Mississippi (and in the xeric sandhills of South Carolina), abaxial leaf faces are commonly densely pubescent along the major veins.

Eupatorium ternifolium Elliott is a superfluous, illegitimate name that pertains here.
