Perennials, 60–100+ cm. Stems (from short caudices) single or multiple, sparsely branched distally, puberulent throughout.

Heads in corymbiform arrays. Phyllaries 7–10 in 2–3 series, lanceolate (tapering at tips), 2–6 × 1–1.5 mm, apices acute, not mucronate, abaxial faces puberulent, gland-dotted. Florets (4–)5; corollas 3–3.5 mm. Cypselae 2–3 mm; pappi of 20–50 bristles 3.5–4.5 mm. 2n = 30, 40.

Discussion
Eupatorium godfreyanum is an apomictic polyploid derivative that includes genomes from E. rotundifolium and E. sessilifolium. Although it is relatively narrow in distribution, it is known to occur in localities where both progenitor species are absent and it seems to be persistent where it occurs. Eupatorium vaseyi Porter has been misapplied to E. godfreyanum.
