Ageratina riparia, also known as mist flower or Hamakua pamakani, is a spreading subshrub with clusters of small white flowers, pointed to elliptic leaves, and branches up to 3 feet long. After its introduction to Hawaii, Ageratina riparia eventually infested thousands of acres of ranchland. Ageratina riparia was accidentally introduced to Hawaii in 1925.
