  • Question

    Found by Charles River, Boston side

    Answer

    Dear whtien, I'm sorry, but I can't see enough of this plant to be certain of its identification. It is a species of Symphyotrichum (American-aster), and may be Symphyotrichum dumosum (bushy American-aster) or something closely related. With additional images of the plant, including a close-up of the flower heads, I could likely give a more detailed answer.
