Differences:

…. leaves (of Ageratina) much larger and broader than Chromolaena odorata. The inflorescence is also much different, an erect spreading panicle in Ageratina.
Ageratina: Phyllaries persistent, 8–30 in 2(–3) series, 0- or 2-nerved, lanceolate to linear, ± equal (herbaceous). Florets 10–60; corollas white or lavender, throats obconic to campanulate (lengths 1.5–2 times diams.); styles: bases sometimes enlarged, glabrous, branches linear, seldom distally dilated.
Chromolaena: Phyllaries usually readily falling (at least in fruit), 18–65+ in 4–6+ series, 3–5-nerved, ovate to oblong or lanceolate, unequal (papery or herbaceous), outer shorter. Florets [6–]15–40[–75]; corollas white or purple to blue, lavender, or reddish, throats cylindric (lengths 3–4 times diams.); styles: bases not enlarged, glabrous, branches linear to linear-clavate.

Chromolaena odorata is a tropical species of flowering shrub in the sunflower family, Asteraceae. It is native to North America, from Florida and Texas to Mexico and the Caribbean,[1] and has been introduced to tropical Asia, west Africa, and parts of Australia
Common names include Siam Weed, Christmas Bush, Devil Weed, Camfhur Grass and Common Floss Flower.[2]
Chromolaena odorata is a rapidly growing perennial herb. It is a multi-stemmed shrub to 2.5 m tall in open areas. It has soft stems but the base of the shrub is woody. In shady areas it becomes etiolated and behaves as a creeper, growing on other vegetation. It can then become up to 10 m tall. The plant is hairy and glandular and the leaves give off a pungent, aromatic odour when crushed. The leaves are opposite, triangular to elliptical with serrated edges. Leaves are 4–10 cms long by 1–5 cms wide. Leaf petioles are 1–4 cms long. The white to pale pink tubular flowers are in panicles of 10 to 35 flowers that form at the ends of branches. The seeds are achenes and are somewhat hairy. They are mostly spread by the wind, but can also cling to fur, clothes and machinery, enabling long distance dispersal. Seed production is about 80000 to 90000 per plant. Seeds need light to germinate. The plant can regenerate from the roots. In favorable conditions the plant can grow more than 3 cms. a day.[3]
Chromolaena odorata is considered invasive weed of field crops and natural environments in its introduced range.[5] It has been reported to be the most problematic invasive species within protected rainforests in Africa.[6] In Western Africa it prevents regeneration of tree species in areas of shifting cultivation. It affects species diversity in southern Africa. The plants flammability affects forest edges.[7] In Sri Lanka it is a major weed in disturbed areas and coconut plantations.[2] Biological control with a defoliating artiid was started in the 1970s but without success except for Sri Lanka and Guam. In Australia a systematic eradication programme with herbicide has been initiated.[8]

Ageratina adenophora from Tirupati:
A spreading shrub common in area


Ageratina adenophora has much broader and thicker leaves

Wikipedia
Floracybaria
This plant may be Chromolaena odorata, but needs to be validated

 – You are i think right after checking literature throughly i reached on this conclusion. Chromolaena odorata is a common weed there.

I also notice the stigmas of Chromolaena are much longer than in Ageratina.

SUJJEST TO CHECK WEEDS:
I AM FROM MAHARASHTRA. IN OUR AREA ORCHADS OF CASHEW AND MANGO ARE
THERE. CLOMORENA ODORATA IS VERY VERY SERIOUS PROBLEM THERE. PLEASE SUGGEST ANY  SOLUTION
FOR CHEKING WEED OR ANY METHOD FOR UTILIZATION.

you can mulch around your trees with leaves and other waste materials like coconut shells etc. This will hamper the growth of weeds like Clomorena odorata.  This will also retain moisture and beneficial to soil. It will reduce the water loss from the  soil, and improve soil structure.  Need for watering is also reduced and soil fertility is improved.  Please try.

Yes Chromolaena odorata of Asteraceae family for me too (Syn: Eupatorium odoratum)


Agree with … A common weed here too in Pune

New name again:
I have heard this name for the first time in villages in Karnataka. They call a weed as              “communist plant“. When asked to show the plant they were not too sure about it themselves. Some showed Lantana, while some just pointed out to Agerantum and Eupatorium. This is gotten me confused now. Can someone clear this out for me?


Yes the weeds are named after the party name as ‘Communist’ or ‘Congress plant’ in areas of Karnataka and also Kerala.
Weeds and exotics are called by the names of opposition-party to mark the behaviour of invasiveness.
For example, I heard that Wedelia sp. (Asteraceae) is called as ‘Congress plant’ in Kerala; whilst the communist in power. 


Who said there was no humour in this business of plant nomenclature? This is a cute political quote to remember.


In Kerala Eupatorium (Now Chromolaena odorata) is generally called ‘Communist pacha’. Pacha means green in Malayalam.


I have heard as Parthenium as congress plant


I have found those, are they genuine or is someone having fun at our expenses?

It turns out that this weed brings out the hate that people have for their politicians – those with opposite views of course. I was amused by this so I thought I would share the fun around. In Cameroon and Central Africa it is called “Bokassa” (name of a former Central African Republic dictator). In Congo it is called Lantana Ngouabi (a previous Congo president). In Côte d’Ivoire it is called Sékou Touré (a former dictator of Guinea), In Ghana it is called Acheampong weed (after a former dictator of Ghana). In Indonesia it is called Rumput Gol. Kar. (Business Party grass).

Hooghly Today : Eupatorium odoratum L. [Chromolaena odorata (L.) R.M.King & H.Rob.]:

This is a wild herb found in waste place. “Bengal Plants” describes two species –
  • Flower-heads in lax raceme; leaves lanceolate, the base gradually tapering to a short petiole; margin subentire ……… Ayapana
  • Flower-heads rather closely corymbose; leaves ovate-acuminate, the base abruptly tapering to a distinct petiole; margins coarsely serrate …….. odoratum
I think this is Eupatorium odoratum L. = Chromolaena odorata (L.) R.M.King & H.Rob.
But, “Bengal Plants” also describes that both the above species are cultivated in Bengal. I wonder how once cultivated species becomes wild in course of time!

wonder why did they cultivate it? any ideas? we need botanical historians????


According to wiki it is sometimes grown as medicinal and ornamental plant – http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chromolaena_odorata

Hope the name is correct
Chromolaena odorata
Vetal Tekdi Pune

yes the spelling is correct but for a plant that has 43 synonyms, does that matter?
Its native to southern states of north america (fl, tx, ) and country : mexico per wiki
and is among 100 most noxious weeds of the world , displacing native plants and yet is popularly known by many as siam weed… as if blaming siam for its origin…   injustice in naming…
anyway one of the papers (abstract) only suggests that this is harmful because soil ph is reduced  and available phosphorus in soil decreased. and is a fire hazard  killing off plantations   this last link is a well written essay on its problem. thanks for getting me to read up on this.
i am searching any ethnobotanical uses that may have been discovered by villagers the world over, since no lifie form without some redeeming feature … if anybody knows or hears of them among our members it would be very welcome

FLOWER PREFERENCE OF BUTTERFLY ( STRIPED TIGER ) : AN OBSERVATION : 2 posts by 2 authors. Attachments (2)
There days Chromolaena odorata in bloom. And many species of butterflies, moths and wasps a having  a great time. I have recorded some 50 species of butterflies visiting this flowers. This includes Striped Tiger also. But other day I observed a Striped Tiger was visiting only the flowers of a Sida species which was next to Chromolaena odorata plants. I observed it for sometime but it never visited flowers of Chromolaena odorata, where all other species were visiting. May be butterflies have their preference. I am not a botanist or an entomologist. Only expert can comment.

Yes, a very tough invasive plant in scrub forests. It has escaped into many forests too.
