Question
Hi. This plant is growing in a weedy area of my yard in Tolland County, Connecticut. I think it is either Anaphalis margaritacea or a species of Pseudognaphalium, and would appreciate your help in identifying it. If there are any other parts of the plant that you need to see to reach a judgment, I'd be happy to take more pictures. Thank you for your help!
Answer
Dear DavidJ, good morning. The plant you have photographed is most likely Pseudognaphalium obtusifolium (blunt-leaved rabbit-tobacco). This is a common species in the genus. I can see the leaves are not decurrent on the stem, so it is not Pseudognaphalium macounii (Macoun's rabbit-tabacco). Best wishes.
