Camphor-Weed (Pluchea camphorata)
Growing in a ditch/drainage area in an overgrown backyard habitat in NW Georgia.
This plant exudes a distinctive camphorous odor from its leaves and stems when bruised or touched. Many people find the scent disagreeable, likening it to feline urine. However, I find the smell pleasant (and no, I don't like the smell of cat urine!).
