Status

Maryland is known to have two native Rabbit-Tobaccos (Pseudognaphalium) and one non-native Cudweed (Marsh Cudweed - Gnaphalium uliginosum). Common Rabbit-tobacco (Pseudognaphalium obtusifolium) is wide-spread in Maryland and is probably present in every county. Heller’s Cudweed (Pseudognaphalium helleri) has been reported less frequently. In addition to these two species, it is likely that other species may be found in Maryland. The range of Small Rabbit-Tobbaco (Pseudognaphalium micradenium) extends into Maryland and Pseudognaphalium stramineum (an adventive species from Texas and Central America) can now be found in Virginia.

Description

When photographing Rabbit-Tobacco, take special note of inflorescence, the leaf bases (decurrent vs. sessile) and the hairs of the stems.
