It's probably another Eupatorium species like the bonesets; they're the
same genus, but differ from Joe-pye weed by their hairy stems.  If the
stems aren't hairy, then it could be snakeroot, mistflower, or a
different type of Joe-pye weed.

Here's some species that you might want to investigate:

   Eupatorium aromaticum
   Eupatorium coelestinum
   Eupatorium fistulosum
   Eupatorium maculatum
   Eupatorium purpureum
   Eupatorium rugosum
   Eupatorium serotinum

These should be listed in any wildflower book.

This could be jewelweed (Impatiens pallida or Impatiens capensis).  Are
the stems really juicy and hollow?
