[3] Pluchea odorata is an annual or perennial herb growing erect to a maximum height over one meter.

The toothed oval leaves are up to 12 cm (4.7 in) long and alternately arranged on the stiff stems.

It is a safe and reliable menstrual stimulant when flow begins late, is scanty, and there are clotty cramps.
