Botanical source

Conyza canadensis (synonym Erigeron canadensis) is an annual herb native to North America, now spread globally as a weed. 1 to 2 meters tall, with small cream-white flowers.

The oil is steam-distilled from the flowering plant. Limited availability. The oil is water-white to pale yellow, becoming darker and more viscous with age.

Family Asteraceae.
