| Perennials, 2–20 cm; slenderly taprooted, caudices usually branched. |
Perennials (sometimes flowering early and appearing annual or biennial), 8–40 cm; usually taprooted (taproots woody or lignescent, early season forms sometimes fibrous-rooted), caudices usually woody, sometimes branched. |
usually decumbent-ascending, moderately to densely hirsutulous to hirtellous (hairs usually deflexed), eglandular. |
(often multiple from bases; of previous year often persistent) ascending to spreading (proximally reddish in early season, sometimes proximally woody or lignescent), loosely strigose to villous (proximal hairs sometimes spreading), often sparsely glandular. |
basal (persistent) and cauline; basal blades 1-nerved or weakly 3-nerved, spatulate, rhombic-elliptic to obovate or oblanceolate (often folding), 20–50(–80) × 3–10(–13) mm; cauline gradually or abruptly reduced and linear distally (bases abruptly contracted to petioles), margins entire, faces moderately to densely hirsutulous, eglandular. |
basal (often withering by late flowering) and cauline; blades oblanceolate to spatulate, 20–50(–100) × 3–7(–18) mm, gradually reduced distally, margins entire or with 1–2(–3) pairs of teeth, faces loosely strigose (hairs ascending), eglandular. |
5–9 × 7–14 mm. |
3–4.5 × 6–9(–12) mm. |
10–25; corollas deep blue or violet to rose-purple, 5–10 mm, laminae not coiling or reflexing. |
24–65(–170); corollas white, often with abaxial midstripe, often drying lilac, 4–7(–11) mm, laminae not coiling or reflexing. |
4.2–6.3 mm. |
1.7–3.1 mm (throats indurate and slightly inflated). |
in 3–4 series (tips and margins often purple), sparsely to moderately hirsutulous, densely minutely glandular. |
in 2–3 series, sparsely to moderately hirsute, minutely glandular. |
1(–2). |
1(–3+, –50 in later season, branches at first from midstem or proximally, later more distal). |
2.5–3.1 mm, 2-nerved, faces sparsely strigose; pappi: outer of setae, inner of 20–30 bristles. |
1.1–1.4 mm, 2-nerved, faces sparsely strigose; pappi: outer of setae, inner of (5–)12–17 bristles. |

Erigeron asperugineus sometimes is very similar in aspect to E. clokeyi var. pinzliae; the latter differs in its narrower leaves, coarsely ciliate petioles, broader and non-reflexing rays, and shorter cypselae. (Discussion copyrighted by Flora of North America; reprinted with permission.) |
Erigeron modestus is a polyploid complex apparently incorporating genes from E. flagellaris, E. tracyi, elements of E divergens, and the Mexican E. pubescens Kunth; arbitrary identifications may be necessary. In most of its range in Texas, E. modestus is not sympatric with any of those other taxa. Forms flowering in early season (Mar–Apr) often have stems red at the bases, dentate basal leaves 30–60(–100) × 5–10(–18) mm, and single, relatively large heads (involucres 9–12 mm diam, ray florets 50–170, corollas 6.5–11 mm) on ebracteate peduncles 5–15 cm. Later season plants have nearly intricately branched stems with more numerous, much smaller, diffusely arranged heads. (Discussion copyrighted by Flora of North America; reprinted with permission.) |
