Ragged cup is a perennial plant which grows in rich soils from Ontario to Georgia and Louisiana, and westward to South Dakota and Nebbraska. The horizontal, pitted rootstock sends up a square, glabrous stem from 4 to 8 feet high. The large, opposite, ovate leaves are coarsely toothed, the lower ones narrowing to margined petioles, the upper clasping the stem with the bases of each pair of leaves united. The yellowish flowers grow in sunflower-like heads on long, forked, axillary peduncles. Flowering time is from July to September. The plant conatins a resinous sap.
