Ageratina herbacea has only white disc flowers, no ray flowers to create a "daisy" appearance. The flowers are mainly in groups at the end of stems. This appearance is similar to the Brickellias. However, the
leaves of Ageratina are nearly triangular in shape and strongly toothed along the edge. In addition, the leaves are deeply veined. The veins are nearly parallel and mostly palmate from the leaf base except for some peripheral vein branching. Ageratina is found in forested areas.
