Brickellia eupatorioides, or false boneset,{{PLANTS|id=BREU|taxon=Brickellia eupatorioides|accessdate=1 June 2015}} is a North American species of flowering plants in the family Asteraceae. It is widespread in Mexico from Chihuahua to Oaxaca, and in all regions of the contiguous United States except New England, New York, and the West Coast.[http://bonap.net/MapGallery/County/Brickellia%20eupatorioides.png Biota of North America Program 2014 county distribution map]
Brickellia eupatorioides is a perennial up to 200 cm (80 inches) tall, growing from a woody base. It produces many small flower heads with yellow, lavender, or maroon disc florets but no ray florets.[http://www.efloras.org/florataxon.aspx?flora_id=1&taxon_id=242416187 Flora of North America, Brickellia eupatorioides (L.)

Ecology
B. eupatorioides is commonly found in grassland communities.Bahm, M. A., T. G. Barnes, et al. (2011). "Herbicide and fire effects on smooth brome (Bromus inermis) and Kentucky bluegrass (Poa pratensis) in invaded prairie remnants." Invasive Plant Science and Management 4: 189-197. It is fire tolerant and persists through repeated annual burns,Glitzenstein, J. S., D. R. Streng, R. E. Masters, K. M. Robertson and S. M. Hermann 2012. Fire-frequency effects on vegetation in north Florida pinelands: Another look at the long-term Stoddard Fire Research Plots at Tall Timbers Research Station. Forest Ecology and Management 264: 197-209. potentially becoming more frequent over time with repeated summer burns.Towne, E. G. and K. E. Kemp (2008). "Long-term response patterns of tallgrass prairie to frequent summer burning." Rangeland Ecology & Management 61: 509-520.
