Question
Greetings. I am going to ask another question about a plant for which I have only one picture taken a decade ago. I want to call it Polymnia canadensis, but, as this has not been recorded from Massachusetts, I am somewhat reluctant. This photo was taken at the end of August somewhere in Paxton, Massachusetts. (I was not as good ten years about recording exact localities. Yours truly, --Carl
Answer
Dear Carl, your plant is a species of Galinsoga (quickweed), species in the composite family native to South America. There are two species, which are separated on minute details that I cannot discern in the photograph. Best wishes.
