Iva xanthiifolia of Michigan Flora.
Native to the central part of North America, adventive eastward and seldom seen in Michigan, although first collected in the Upper Peninsula as long ago as 1888 (Keweenaw Co.) and in the Lower Peninsula first in 1893 (Ingham Co.). Disturbed sites in dumps, roadsides, vacant lots, and around barnyards and old buildings. A coarse, fetid plant, occasionally appearing in abundance after disturbance.
