| Perennials, 10–18 cm; taprooted, caudices multicipital or branched. |
Biennials or perennials, 7–50(–70) cm; rhizomatous, caudices or rhizomes relatively short and thickened, simple or branched, usually appearing merely fibrous-rooted. |

erect or slightly basally ascending, hirsute or hirsuto-villous to strigose or glabrate, eglandular. |
basal (often not persistent) and cauline; blades spatulate 15–30 × 1.5–4 mm, cauline gradually reduced distally (reduced to bracts on peduncles), margins usually 3-lobed (lobes linear to oblong-oblanceolate, about as wide as central portion of blades), sometimes 2-ternate or (cauline) entire, faces sparsely hispido-hirsute, minutely glandular. |
basal (persistent) and cauline; basal blades oblanceolate to oblanceolate-spatulate, 40–150 × 3–15 mm, margins usually entire, sometimes shallowly dentate, faces hirsute or hirsuto-villous to sparsely strigose or glabrate, eglandular; cauline blades usually becoming lanceolate, abruptly or gradually reduced distally (bases sometimes subclasping). |

5–9 × 10–20 mm. |
20–40; corollas white to bluish, sometimes drying pink, 3–6 mm, laminae not coiling or reflexing. |

The brittle, hispid vestiture, and multiple small heads (more than one per stem) with short rays of Erigeron allocotus are unusual among its putative relatives with 3-parted leaves. (Discussion copyrighted by Flora of North America; reprinted with permission.) |
Varieties 2 (2 in the flora). Erigeron glabellus is recognized by its subsimple caudices and fibrous-rooted bases, relatively numerous rays with nearly filiform laminae, and nonglandular vestiture. (Discussion copyrighted by Flora of North America; reprinted with permission.) |
