Question
Good afternoon I discovered this 'weed' growing in a disturbed area of Arlington, MA. I have tentatively identified it as Erechtites hieraciifolius primarily from the leaf structure. I would appreciate your input. Thank you.
Answer
Dear califyank, you have determined the plant correctly as best I can tell. This species (American burnweed) is a native weed of disturbed and/or open soils. Best wishes.
