This plant was found growing in a sunny location in central Mississippi (zone 7b) in gravel. Pink flowers in clusters. Alternate leaves. It has a very strong odor, NOT sweet smelling, but rather skunky smelling. It's form reminds me of a Eupatorium sp. but I can't quite place it. Any help would be appreciated. Any ideas on an id?

Katie,
It's a type of Camphorweed, most likely Pluchea camphorata.

Julie, you nailed it. Thanks so much! And I'll be transplanting this little native.
