Hooker's fleabane, Huber's fleabane, tap-root fleabane
|
| Perennials, 2–20(–30) cm; taprooted, caudices branched. |
Perennials, (1–)2–6(–12) cm; taprooted, caudices branches relatively short, thick. |
erect to slightly decumbent-ascending, canescent-hirsute, densely stipitate-glandular. |
erect, strigose to sparsely or densely short-villous (hairs loosely appressed to ascending or spreading), 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). |
mostly basal (persistent) (eciliate or weakly ciliate proximally); blades 1-nerved linear to narrowly oblanceolate or subspatulate, (5–)10–50(–60) × 0.8–2.5 mm (bases gradually narrowing), margins entire (apices obtuse to rounded), abaxial faces glabrate or glabrous, shiny, adaxial sparsely, loosely strigose, eglandular; cauline mostly on proximal 1/2–1/3 of stems (absent in some high elevation forms), abruptly or gradually reduced distally. |
4–6 × 7–15 mm. |
(3–)4–6(–8) × (5–)8–12(–15) mm. |
|
(12–)20–44(–85); corollas white, less commonly purplish, 4–7(–8) 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–)2.5–3.5(–4) mm. |
in 2–3 series, coarsely hirsute, densely minutely glandular. |
in 2–3(–4) series (subequal), villosulous to villoso-hirsutulous (hairs usually with purplish cross walls at least in basal cells), minutely glandular apically or eglandular. |
(disciform) 1–4. |
1. |
1.5–1.8 mm, 2-nerved, faces sparsely strigose (carpopodia whitish); pappi: outer of scales or setae, inner of 7–20 bristles. |
2.1–2.5 mm, 2-nerved, faces sparsely strigose; pappi: outer of scales, inner of (6–)7–11 (readily falling) 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.) |
Collections of Erigeron radicatus often have been identified as E. ochroleucus var. scribneri; E. radicatus is distinctive in its branched caudex, villous cauline vestiture, more reduced leaf vestiture, involucral vestiture of hairs with purple cross walls, shorter disc corollas, and relatively few, readily falling pappus bristles. Erigeron radicatus often is essentially scapiform at relatively high elevation (2700–3400 m) in Idaho, Montana, Utah, and Wyoming; more eastern populations in the Great Plains, at lower elevations (1400–2600 m), have leafier stems but are hardly different in other features. Plants of some populations in Albany and Carbon counties, Wyoming, produce atypically shorter rays. (Discussion copyrighted by Flora of North America; reprinted with permission.) |
