Eupatorium paludicola (Asteraceae) is a new species from the Atlantic Coastal Plain of North and South Carolina. It resembles E. leucolepis (DC.) Torr. & A. Gray, from which it is most readily distinguished by very narrow (2–4.5 mm wide) ascending-recurved to erect-incurved leaves, and by shorter involucres, pappi, and cypselae. It inhabits isolated, herb-dominated wet depressions with variable hydrology such as clay-based Carolina bays.
