EUTROCHIUM - JOE PYE WEED
Eutrochium is a genus of flowering plants that are native to the United States and Canada, and are grown mostly as ornamental plants. They are commonly called Joe-Pye Weeds, and were traditionally all the purple flowering North American species in the genus Eupatorium. Besides the flower color, the other main difference between Eutrochium and Eupatorium is that the former has mostly whorled leaves and the latter mostly has opposite leaves. Some sources claim that the plant was previously used to treat typhus outbreaks, and to treat kidney stones.
