Eupatorium serotinum, also known as late boneset or late thoroughwort, is a fall-blooming herbaceous plant native to North America.[3]
Eupatorium serotinum ranges throughout most of the eastern United States, found in every coastal state from Massachusetts to Texas and inland as far as Minnesota and Nebraska. There are reports of one small population in the Canadian Province of Ontario, and other reports of the species on the south side of the Río Grande in northern Mexico.[3][4][5]
Like other members of the genus Eupatorium, Eupatorium serotinum is about one to two meters (40–80 inches) tall and has inflorescences containing a large number of tiny white flower heads with 9–15 disc florets but no ray florets.[6]
Eupatorium serotinum grows in open sites (either dry or moist), and can hybridize with Eupatorium perfoliatum[3] and other members of the genus Eupatorium. Unlike wind-pollinated plants in this genus, E. serotinum is pollinated by insects.[7]

Eupatorium serotinum es una planta herbácea de la familia Asteraceae natural de Norteamérica.[2]
Eupatorium serotinum se encuentra a lo largo de la mayor parte del este de los Estados Unidos, que se encuentra en todos los estados de la costa de Massachusetts, de Texas y tierra adentro hasta Minnesota y Nebraska. Hay informes de una pequeña población en la provincia canadiense de Ontario, y otros informes de la especie en el lado sur del Río Grande en el norte de México.[3][2][4]
Al igual que otros miembros del género Eupatorium, Eupatorium serotinum alcanza un tamaño de uno a dos metros de alto y tiene inflorescencias que contienen un gran número de pequeñas cabezas blancas de flores con 9-15 flósculos del disco , pero no flores liguladas.[5]
Eupatorium serotinum crece en sitios abiertos (seco o húmedo), y se puede hibridar con Eupatorium perfoliatum[2] y otros miembros del género Eupatorium. A diferencia de las plantas polinizadas por el viento en este género, E. serotinum es polinizada por insectos.[6]
Eupatorium serotinum fue descrita por André Michaux y publicado en Flora Boreali-Americana 2: 100. 1803.[7][8]
Eupatorium: nombre genérico que viene del griego y significa "de padre noble". Cuyo nombre se refiere a Mitrídates el Grande, que era el rey del Ponto en el siglo I aC y a quien se le atribuye el primer uso de la medicina. De hecho, las especies de este género, a lo largo del tiempo, han tomado diversas denominaciones vulgares referidas sobre todo a la medicina popular, esto sirve para resaltar las propiedades de Eupatoria, aunque actualmente este uso se ha reducido algo debido a algunas sustancias hepatotóxicas presentes en estas plantas.
serotinum: epíteto latíno que significa "tardío, nocturno".[9]
