Chromolaena bigelovii called Bigelow's false thoroughwort,[2] or Bigelow's thoroughwort,[3] is a North American species of flowering shrub in the sunflower family. It is native to northeastern Mexico (Coahuila, Nuevo León, San Luis Potosí) and the US State of Texas.[2][4][5]

Chromolaena bigelovii is a shrub up to 150 cm (5 feet) tall. Flower heads are produced in groups of 3, but sometimes they grow one at a time. The heads contain blue or white disc florets but no ray florets.[2][6]
