Elmer's erigeron, Elmer's fleabane
|
| Perennials, 2–20(–30) cm; taprooted, caudices branched. |
Perennials, 6–20 cm; apparently taprooted (often not evident or not collected), rhizomes relatively slender, woody fibrous-rooted or rhizomelike caudex branches. |
erect to slightly decumbent-ascending, canescent-hirsute, densely stipitate-glandular. |
prostrate to decumbent-trailing, less commonly ascending-erect (without axillary leaf tufts), sparsely to moderately strigose, eglandular. |
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). |
cauline; blades narrowly lanceolate to oblong, 5–20 × 1–2 mm, relatively even-sized, margins entire, faces strigose, eglandular. |
4–6 × 7–15 mm. |
3.5–5 × 7–10 mm. |
|
12–21; corollas white, drying bluish, 5–6 mm, laminae coiling. |
30–45; corollas usually tubular, lacking laminae, or laminae shorter than involucres. |
|
2.8–4.5 mm (throats white-indurate and inflated, conspicuously puberulent). |
3.5–4 mm (throats slightly indurate, not inflated). |
in 2–3 series, coarsely hirsute, densely minutely glandular. |
in 3–5 series (often purple-tipped; margins of inner narrowly scarious), glabrous, minutely glandular. |
(disciform) 1–4. |
1 or 2–3. |
1.5–1.8 mm, 2-nerved, faces sparsely strigose (carpopodia whitish); pappi: outer of scales or setae, inner of 7–20 bristles. |
1.6–2.5 mm, 2-nerved, faces sparsely strigose; pappi: outer of setae, inner of 18–26 bristles. |

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.
