Ageratina paupercula, called the Santa Rita snakeroot, is a North American species of shrubs or perennial herbs in the sunflower family. It is found only in the States of Arizona, Sonora, Chihuahua, Durango, Nayarit, and Jalisco.[2][3][4]
The epithet "paupercula" is feminine of "pauperculus," Latin for "poor."[5] The "Santa Rita" part of the common name refers to the Santa Rita Mountains in southern Arizona, south of Tucson, where the species was initially discovered.[6][7]
