Question
Hello! I found I plant I assumed was Pseudognaphalium, but upon noticing that it didn’t have a strong syrup scent, I thought maybe it was an Anaphalis. At this time in the season I’m not too confident in my judgement of whether the bracts are ascending or dingy white. Thanks so much!
Answer
Dear philterfeed, good morning. The plants look to be a species of Pseudognaphalium (likely Pseudognaphalium obtusifolium--blunt-leaved rabbit-tobacco). This is the most common species in the genus within New England. Best wishes.
