Although it is widespread across America, it is thought to
have originated in Europe and traveled here prior to
Eureopean settlement 200 years ago. For this reason, some
people do not consider it a native plant. Native Americans
smoke it mixed with tobacco for athsma conditions. There
are many different species of mullein, but I think you can
find images of most of them by searching 'mullein' under
common name in the above database to see what you have.
