I hesitate to query, but wiki says that ragwort is a Eurasian native, and introduced to the USA (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jacobaea_vulgaris). Its a notifiable weed in the UK, but it does host beautiful caterpillars.
That's the trouble with common names; you're not quite sure they're the same plant. Senecio/Jacobaea vulgaris is a terrible weed from Eurasia. S/J plattensis is a native prairie plant, and they share a common name. As demonstrated it causes lots of confusion.
