| Perennials, 2–20(–30) cm; taprooted, caudices branched. |
Perennials, 5–15(–25 cm); taprooted, caudices simple or branches usually relatively thick and short, rarely slender and rhizomelike, covered with persistent leaf bases. |
erect to slightly decumbent-ascending, canescent-hirsute, densely stipitate-glandular. |
erect (simple, ± scapiform), sparsely hispido-pilose, minutely glandular. |
basal (persistent) and cauline (petioles prominently ciliate, at least on proximal portions, hairs thick-based, spreading); basal blades linear-oblanceolate to spatulate, 20–80 × 2–7 mm; cauline gradually or abruptly reduced distally, sometimes bractlike (stems scapiform), margins entire, faces canescent-hirsute, densely stipitate-glandular (hairs finer). |
mostly basal (persistent); blades spatulate to obovate-spatulate, 5–50(–70) × (2–)4–12 mm, margins (1–)2–3(–4)-ternately lobed or dissected, cauline bractlike, mostly entire, faces densely hispiduloso-puberulent to glabrate, minutely glandular. |
4–6 × 7–15 mm. |
5–10 × 8–20 mm. |
30–45; corollas usually tubular, lacking laminae, or laminae shorter than involucres. |
20–60; corollas white to pink or blue, usually 6–12 mm, often reduced to tubes (heads disciform), laminae not coiling or reflexing. |
2.8–4.5 mm (throats white-indurate and inflated, conspicuously puberulent). |
3–5 mm. |
in 2–3 series, coarsely hirsute, densely minutely glandular. |
in 2–3 series (purple-tipped), hirsute (hairs spreading), minutely glandular. |
(disciform) 1–4. |

Varieties 2 (2 in the flora). Erigeron aphanactis is distinguished from E. austiniae by its conspicuously puberulent (versus essentially glabrous) disc corollas and white (versus yellow) carpopodia; it also is similiar in habit and vestiture to E. concinnus, which has conspicuous white to pinkish rays.

Correlations among ploidal level, breeding systems, and morphologic variation have been studied in detail in Erigeron compositus. Five informally designated population systems of diploids are geographically restricted (all of the northwestern United States and adjacent Canada) and primarily sexual, compared to the polyploids, which are agamospermous and apparently of hybrid origin, at least in some cases (R. D. Noyes et al. 1995; Noyes and D. E. Soltis 1996). Reduction in ray floret laminae usually is correlated with polyploidy. Plants with 1-ternately lobed leaves have been identified as var. glabratus, an element of variation that does not have a geographic pattern. Among closely related species, Erigeron compositus is the only one that produces strongly thickened caudex branches; occasional collections show a tendency toward the slender, loose branches characteristic of the other species.
