Ageratina macbridei is a species of flowering plant in the family Asteraceae. It is endemic to Peru, where it occurs in several types of habitats, often near rivers.

Etymology

Ageratina is derived from Greek meaning 'un-aging', in reference to the flowers keeping their color for a long time. This name was used by Dioscorides for a number of different plants.Gledhill, David (2008). "The Names of Plants".
