centaurea americana
centaurea melitensis

I see our database reflects ITIS and considers them "the same plant''

I was trying to add some data and find one /the yellow (melitensis) a invasive
and the other purple (americana) a native

I have trouble reconciling this Shrug!

Help me understand how two so very different plants are the same?

Smiling Thanks
..a balanced life is worth pursuit.
