I've found a popular English name as well: "iron weed"http://www.google.pl/search?hl=pl&q=vernonia polyanthes iron...

assa-peixe
Optionally, you can add the scientific name after the Portuguese name, in parentheses. Remember to italicize or underline the scientific name, if used. Also, the genus name (Vernonia) should be capitalized, but not the species name.
