Varieties 3 (3 in the flora). Erigeron bellidiastrum is recognized by its annual duration, upcurved hairs of the stem, relatively few rays, 1-seriate pappi, and by some ray florets consistently produced between the phyllaries, the mature cypselae of these held in place as the phyllaries reflex at maturity.

Erigeron vetensis is found in the Rocky Mountains. (Discussion copyrighted by Flora of North America; reprinted with permission.) |
