Conyza canadensis (Canadian Fleabane)

East Stoke, Nottinghamshire SK74P

 

Brighter green than C. sumatrensis or C. floribunda and best distinguished from them by the outer flowers' ligules overtopping the phyllaries.

Most of the C. canadensis I see in Nottinghamshire is also a much smaller plant than the other two (often less than a foot high, whereas the other two are often over three if not four feet) and I usually see it growing on arable ground or as a garden weed, but this was an exception to that on both counts.
