Kuhnia. (Dr. Adam Kuhn, an early botanist of Philadelphia). Compositae. American herbs, closely allied to Eupatorium, seldom planted in the wild garden or border. Perennials, with mostly alternate resinous- dotted lvs., and small whitish or purplish heads in late summer and autumn. From Eupatorium, Kuhnia differs in having 10-angled or -costate achenes rather than 5-costate. Species perhaps 4 or 5, Atlantic U. S. to Texas and Mex. E. eupatorioides, Linn., is the species most likely to appear in cult, grounds: 2-3 ft., erect: lvs. ovate-lanceolate to oblong-lanceolate or linear, the uppermost usually entire but others usually few-toothed and sometimes short-petioled: heads of white fls. cymose-clustered. Dry places, N. J. to Dak. and S.; very variable. L.H.B.
