Smelters Bush (Flaveria bidentis)

Family Astereceae


In trying to get more information on this plant, I have come across conflicting reports.

 In some places I see as listed as a small plant growing up to 1m (3’) in height and a native to tropical America and an invasive species, an on another site listed on a Red List which normally means “endangered”.

 Now my question is ……. Which of the two is it? Can anyone help with an answer? It is rather a pretty plant don’t you think?
