| Perennials, 2–20(–30) cm; taprooted, caudices branched. |
Perennials, 10–30(–50) cm; taprooted, caudices multicipital, often with relatively short and thin, stemlike, lignescent branches. |
erect to slightly decumbent-ascending, canescent-hirsute, densely stipitate-glandular. |
erect, sparsely to densely strigose (hairs loosely appressed to ascending, fine), densely white-strigose at least proximally, 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). |
basal (usually persistent, not clustered as rosettes) and cauline; basal blades linear to filiform, 10–80 × 0.5–2.5(–3.5) mm; cauline gradually or little reduced distally, margins entire, faces sparsely to moderately strigose, eglandular. |
4–6 × 7–15 mm. |
4–7 × 5–-18 mm. |
|
(15–)20–125; corollas usually blue, sometimes white, pink, or pale lavender, 3–13 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). |
2.5–5.5 mm. |
in 2–3 series, coarsely hirsute, densely minutely glandular. |
in (2–)3–4 series, loosely strigose to hirsute or nearly villous, densely to sparsely minutely glandular. |
(disciform) 1–4. |
1–5(–10+) from distal branches, tending to be in corymbiform arrays. |
1.5–1.8 mm, 2-nerved, faces sparsely strigose (carpopodia whitish); pappi: outer of scales or setae, inner of 7–20 bristles. |
1.4–1.8(–2) mm, 2-nerved, faces sparsely strigose to glabrate; pappi: outer of setae, inner of 20–30 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. (Discussion copyrighted by Flora of North America; reprinted with permission.) |
The densely white-strigose stem bases, linear-filiform leaves relatively unreduced distally, and relatively few heads with coiling, usually blue rays are distinctive for Erigeron filifolius. Proximal leaves are not clustered as a basal rosette; they are inserted on closely spaced nodes that are slightly more separated distally. Plants identified as var. robustior (with more ray florets, fewer heads, and thicker stems, centered in Oregon and Washington) intergrade with the typical form and apparently are separated arbitrarily.

1. Stems scapiform; heads 1; disc corolla lobes sometimes becoming reddish or purplish | var. congestus |
