Eupatorium mohrii, commonly called Mohr's thoroughwort, is a herbaceous perennial plant in Asteraceae native to the southeastern coastal states of the United States, from North Carolina to Florida and Louisiana to Texas.[2] It can also be found in the Caribbean.[3] The stems grow from 30 to over 100 cm tall and are produced from tuberous rhizomes. As with other species of Eupatorium, the inflorescences contain a large number of white flower heads with disc florets and no ray florets. It forms hybrids with Eupatorium serotinum and Eupatorium rotundifolium.[2]
E. mohrii grows in moist areas, edges of ponds, and sandy soils.[2]
