Eupatorium mikanioides, commonly called semaphore thoroughwort, is a herbaceous perennial plant in Asteraceae found only in the US state of Florida.[3][4]

Like other members of the genus Eupatorium, it produces large numbers of small white flower heads, each head with 5 disc florets but no ray florets.[5] It grows a half meter to one meter tall.[3]

It grows in wet to moist areas, and is salt-tolerant.[3]
