--><span class="statement" id="st-undefined" data-properties=""><b>Annuals </b>or perennials, 40–100 cm; fibrous-rooted, sometimes rhizomatous. <b>Stems</b> (often dark purplish) arachnose, glandular. <b>Leaves</b> sessile; blades (thick, reticulate-veined) oblong to elliptic, lance-ovate, or ovate, mostly 3–10(–13) × 1–4 cm (bases clasping), margins denticulate (apices rounded to acute), faces minutely sessile-glandular. <b>Heads</b> in loose to dense, corymbiform arrays. <b>Involucres</b> usually cupulate to campanulate, sometimes turbinate-campanulate, 5–10 × 6–9(–12) mm (bases mostly rounded to impressed, sometimes obtuse). <b>Phyllaries</b> usually creamy white, sometimes cream, greenish, pinkish, rose-purplish, purplish, yellowish, or pale pink, thinly arachnoid-pubescent and sessile-glandular (the outer ovate to ovate-lanceolate, lengths mostly 0.2–0.6 times inner). <b>Corollas</b> creamy white to yellowish or pale pink. <b>Pappi</b> persistent, bristles distinct.</span><!--

|discussion=<p><i>Pluchea foetida</i> <i></i></i>var.<i><i> imbricata</i> has not been treated as distinct from typical <i>P. foetida</i> by recent authors (e.g., A. Cronquist 1980; R. K. Godfrey and J. W. Wooten 1981; R. P. Wunderlin et al. 1996). Although plants similar to the type can be found scattered in Florida and Georgia, a populational integrity does not appear to occur, and intermediate forms exist. Nevertheless, field biologists should be aware of the putative distinctions of <i></i></i>var.<i><i> imbricata</i> to make more critical observations regarding its status.</p>
