Pluchea indica is a species of flowering plant in the aster family, Asteraceae. Its common names include Indian camphorweed, Indian fleabane, and Indian pluchea.[1] It is native to parts of Asia and Australia, and it is widespread in the Pacific Islands as an introduced and often invasive species.[1][2]
The species hybridizes with Pluchea carolinensis when the two plants grow together, yielding a hybrid that has been named Pluchea × fosbergii.[1]
