Chromolaena oteroi, the Mona Island thoroughwort,[2] is a species of flowering shrub in the family Asteraceae. It has been found only on Mona Island, a small island between Puerto Rico and Hispaniola in the West Indies and politically a part of the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico.[3][4][5]
The shrub, with its pale purple flowers, was named after botanist José I. Otero.[3]
