--><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>Pluchea foetida var. imbricata has not been treated as distinct from typical P. foetida 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 var. imbricata to make more critical observations regarding its status.</p>
