Eupatorium capillifolium<\/i> (dogfennel<\/b>) is a North American perennial herbaceous plant<\/font><\/a> in the family sunflower family<\/font><\/a>, native to the eastern and south-central <\/font>United States<\/font><\/a>.[3]<\/font><\/a><\/sup><\/font> It is generally between 50\u00a0cm and 2 meters tall with several stems that fork from a substantial base.[4]<\/font><\/a><\/sup><\/font> The stems and base are covered in leaves so dissected that they resemble branching green threads coming out of the stem in <\/font>fractal<\/font><\/a> patterns. When crushed, the leaves and flowers smell rather unpleasant.[4]<\/font><\/a><\/sup><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

Dogfennel thrives on roadsides,[5]<\/font><\/a><\/sup> in fields and reduced tillage crops, as well as areas that have burned or otherwise been disturbed.[5]<\/font><\/a><\/sup><\/font> It is found in the early to middle (seral<\/font><\/a>) stages of ecological succession<\/font><\/a>. It is native to the southern and eastern United States<\/font><\/a>, from Massachusetts<\/font><\/a> south to Florida<\/font><\/a>, and west to Missouri<\/font><\/a> and Texas<\/font><\/a>,[8]<\/font><\/a><\/sup>[9]<\/font><\/a><\/sup> and also Cuba<\/font><\/a> and the Bahamas<\/font><\/a>.[10]<\/font><\/a><\/sup> Unlike insect-pollinated plants in this genus, E. capillifolium<\/i> is wind-pollinated<\/font><\/a>.[10]<\/sup><\/font><\/a><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
Dogfennel spreads by both seeds and <\/font>rootstocks<\/font><\/a> and can grow quite aggressively. It is common in pastures, especially those that are unimproved or overgrazed,[5]<\/font><\/a><\/sup> and degrades the quality of the pasture by competing with desired forage species.[11]<\/font><\/a><\/sup> Dogfennel contains <\/font>liver<\/font><\/a>-damaging <\/font>pyrrolizidine alkaloids<\/font><\/a>, so livestock are known to eat all the turf around a stand of it. To remove infestations of dogfennel, the recommended course of action is to mow it and apply <\/font>herbicides<\/font><\/a>.[11]<\/font><\/a><\/sup><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

It has also been introduced outside its native range, for example in Nepal.[12]<\/font><\/a><\/sup><\/div>\n
