|discussion=<p><i>Eupatorium perfoliatum</i> is both distinctive, with its perfoliate leaf bases, and extraordinarily widespread. Hybrids between <i>E. perfoliatum</i> and other species of <i>Eupatorium</i> have been reported. The name <i>E. resinosum</i> var. kentuckiense Fernald is based on hybrids between <i>E. perfoliatum</i> and <i>E. serotinum</i> (= E. ×truncatum Muhlenberg ex Willdenow). <i>Eupatorium perfoliatum</i> var. colpophilum refers to populations characterized by narrower, more leathery leaves found in the extreme northeastern portion of the range.</p>
