| Perennials, 2–20(–30) cm; taprooted, caudices branched. |
Annuals or rarely short-lived perennials, 12–50(–80) cm; taprooted or rarely fibrous-rooted. |
erect to slightly decumbent-ascending, canescent-hirsute, densely stipitate-glandular. |
(single or multiple from bases) usually basally ascending, strigose to villous, often slightly and minutely stipitate-glandular near to heads. |
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 not persistent) and cauline; blades narrowly lanceolate to oblanceolate, basal (5–)20–50 × 3–9 mm, cauline gradually reduced distally, margins entire or proximal shallowly crenate to serrate with 1–3 pairs of teeth, faces sparsely strigose, eglandular. |
4–6 × 7–15 mm. |
2.5–4 × (3–)5–9 mm. |
|
60–110; corollas white, 2.5–5(–7) mm, laminae not reflexing or 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). |
1.2–2 mm (throats slightly indurate and inflated). |
in 2–3 series, coarsely hirsute, densely minutely glandular. |
in 2–3 series (margins scarious at least in inner), sparsely hirsute, minutely glandular. |
(disciform) 1–4. |
(1–)5–ca. 100. |
1.5–1.8 mm, 2-nerved, faces sparsely strigose (carpopodia whitish); pappi: outer of scales or setae, inner of 7–20 bristles. |
(0.5–)0.8–1.3 mm, 2-nerved, faces glabrous or sparsely strigose; pappi: outer of minute, blunt scales or fimbriate crowns (to 0.15 mm), inner 0. |

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.) |
In Arizona, Erigeron versicolor grows in meadows, along creeks, and in pine-aspen-spruce areas. Erigeron versicolor is distinguished by its annual duration, nodding buds, conic receptacles, broad phyllaries, and pappi of only minute crowns. The species appears to be disjunctly divided among three regions in the United States and Mexico (D. C. D. De Jong and G. L. Nesom 1996), and habitats vary widely. This is an unusual distribution. There is much variation in duration, root type, orientation of stem pubescence, elaboration of the pappus crown, and achene vestiture, and this morphologic variation does not appear to be strongly correlated with geography.
