| Perennials, 3–8 dm; rhizomatous, fibrous-rooted, caudices relatively thick. |
Perennials (sometimes flowering early and appearing annual or biennial), 8–40 cm; usually taprooted (taproots woody or lignescent, early season forms sometimes fibrous-rooted), caudices usually woody, sometimes branched. |
erect, loosely strigose to glabrate, sometimes hirsuto-villous proximally, eglandular. |
(often multiple from bases; of previous year often persistent) ascending to spreading (proximally reddish in early season, sometimes proximally woody or lignescent), loosely strigose to villous (proximal hairs sometimes spreading), often sparsely glandular. |
basal (usually persistent) and cauline; basal and proximal cauline blades often prominently 3-nerved, oblanceolate-spatulate to elliptic-spatulate, 80–200 × 15–35 mm, margins usually coarsely dentate (teeth 1–5 pairs), sometimes entire, faces weakly strigose to hirsute, eglandular; cauline blades becoming lanceolate to linear, sometimes ovate, gradually reduced distally (bases weakly subclasping or not clasping). |
basal (often withering by late flowering) and cauline; blades oblanceolate to spatulate, 20–50(–100) × 3–7(–18) mm, gradually reduced distally, margins entire or with 1–2(–3) pairs of teeth, faces loosely strigose (hairs ascending), eglandular. |
6–10 × (10–)12–16(–20) mm. |
3–4.5 × 6–9(–12) mm. |
45–80; corollas white to pinkish purple, 10–15 mm, laminae coiling at tips. |
24–65(–170); corollas white, often with abaxial midstripe, often drying lilac, 4–7(–11) mm, laminae not coiling or reflexing. |
2.5–4 mm. |
1.7–3.1 mm (throats indurate and slightly inflated). |
in 3(–4) series, glabrous or moderately villous to white-hirsuto-villous (sometimes only at peduncle-involucre region), densely minutely glandular. |
in 2–3 series, sparsely to moderately hirsute, minutely glandular. |
1–4(–7) (from branches distal to midstem). |
1(–3+, –50 in later season, branches at first from midstem or proximally, later more distal). |
2–2.8 mm, 2(–4)-nerved, faces moderately to densely strigose; pappi: outer of setae, inner of 18–32 bristles. |
1.1–1.4 mm, 2-nerved, faces sparsely strigose; pappi: outer of setae, inner of (5–)12–17 bristles. |

Erigeron modestus is a polyploid complex apparently incorporating genes from E. flagellaris, E. tracyi, elements of E divergens, and the Mexican E. pubescens Kunth; arbitrary identifications may be necessary. In most of its range in Texas, E. modestus is not sympatric with any of those other taxa. Forms flowering in early season (Mar–Apr) often have stems red at the bases, dentate basal leaves 30–60(–100) × 5–10(–18) mm, and single, relatively large heads (involucres 9–12 mm diam, ray florets 50–170, corollas 6.5–11 mm) on ebracteate peduncles 5–15 cm. Later season plants have nearly intricately branched stems with more numerous, much smaller, diffusely arranged heads. (Discussion copyrighted by Flora of North America; reprinted with permission.) |
