Abstract
Examines the ploidy level of several North American species in the genus Eupatorium. Diploid plants were found to produce normal pollen but triploid and tetraploid plants either failed to produce pollen or produced malformed pollen. Diploid plants of Eupatorium perfoliatum and E. rotundifolium were found to be self-incompatible, which may be useful information for propagation of these species. Distribution maps and blooming information are also provided.Suggested Citation
