I personally have always known the genus Pluchea as the Camphorweeds but then, thats what scientific names are for. Anyways, my money is on Pluchea baccharis or Rosy Camphorweed.

Its the common name for both, but yes I do think it is a Pluchea

That's interesting... I always think of Erigeron sp. as being fleabanes.

Which is fleabane, as I suggested in my description
