A couple days ago, I asked if anyone know what this unknown weed was that I saw underneath a street tree.

The stems are reddish brown and slightly hairy. The main stem seems semi-woody, since I could not pinch it off.

Here is a close up of the leaves.

Update: I went back to check to see if this “weed” was really a sucker from the tree it was under. After seeing it, I don’t think it is, since I also saw another one of this “weed” at another location that was not under a tree.

Here are more photo’s that may help:

Now does anyone know what this is?

SOLVED: This is White Snakeroot ‘Chocolate’ (Eupatorium rugosum) ( DG PlantFile )
