Ageratina ligustrina (privet-leaved ageratina, privet-leaved snakeroot), is Mesoamerican species of evergreen flowering shrub in the sunflower family. It is widespread across much of Mexico and Central America from Tamaulipas to Costa Rica. Ageratina ligustrina grows to 4 metres tall, producing flat heads of daisy-like white to pink composite flower-heads in autumn. The fragrant flower-heads may be up to 20 centimeters in diameter and attract butterflies. The leaves are light green, elliptic to lance shaped, with toothed margins.
