Lake Huron Tansy (Tanacetum bipinnatum (L.) Sch. Bip.)
Also known as camphor tansy; also classified as Tanacetum camphoratum Less.
The Camphor Daisy, Tanacetum camphoratum, a West Coast species whose range extends south to California, was merged into this species which formerly was only thought to occur in the Great Lakes region and Canada; most authorities including POWO and BONAP recognize this merge. This species is divided by POWO into two subspecies, but of them, only ssp. bipinnatum occurs in North America; T. camphoratum was merged into that subspecies.

This tentative map is based on our own research. It may have limited data on Canada and/or Mexico, and there is some subjectivity in our assignment of plants as introduced vs. expanded. Read more in this blog post.
Although this plant occurs somewhere in each of these regions, it may only occur in a small part of some or all of them.
