Eupatorium paludicola was for many years considered part of E. leucolepis until chromosomal analysis showed it to be a distinct species.^{[3] [4]}

Eupatorium paludicola is a perennial herb spreading by means of underground rhizomes. It has long, narrowly lance-shaped leaves. Hybrids have been reported between E. paludicola and E. mohrii.^[5]
