I haven't really worked with Calea Zatechichi plants, I've only worked with the herb. It looks similar to pics I've seen... Here's some info on a related topic I found... (pics are gone)

Apparently there have been a ton of fake plants flooding the market claiming to be Calea and they are not. I just want to warn anyone who may be planning to buy a Calea plant from any ethnobotanical dealer.

First: To confirm it is in fact Calea. Dry out one of the leaves and do a taste test. It should be more bitter than you can tolerate. If it isn't bitter, then you may have the fake.

Second: The live plant should not have a peppery scent when you brush up against the leaves. If it does, you probably have the fake.

The fake looks like this:


The real plant looks like this:


Notice the difference in the leaves. The fake is more triangulated and long. The real one is more oval shaped.

it's not fake.. not considered the 'real' type either.

-i have both types growing..
-they grew from 5 identical seed pods.....
-i got them from an Oz. bag of calea leaves bought on ebay.
-both varieties grew from the identical calea seed pods.
-both types are bitter, and smell/taste similar, and have similar flowers and seed pods.


fast/tall/hardy type; (which you have) is the easier one,
it grows fast, tall and bushy, and can be perennial and come back the next year after freezing.


slower/bushy/short/considered the 'real' type;, (though i consider them to be very similar)
