Brewer's daisy, Brewer's fleabane
|
Geiser's fleabane
|
| Perennials, 7–75 cm; taprooted (taproots usually not collected, often weakly developed), roots and caudices woody, branches rhizomelike (3–15 cm; fibrous-rooted), relatively slender, leafless, ascending. |
Annuals, 5–40 cm; slenderly taprooted, caudices simple. |
usually ascending, sometimes prostrate to procumbent or decumbent (var. jacinteus) (often purple, distal branches stiff, spreading-ascending), hispid (hairs spreading-deflexed, 0.1–0.4 mm), mostly eglandular. |
erect (herbaceous), sparsely spreading- to deflexed-villous proximally, sparsely strigose (hairs straight) distally, eglandular. |
cauline; (ascending) blades narrowly oblong-lanceolate to narrowly obovate, 10–40 × 2–5 mm, margins entire, relatively evenly spaced and sized, hispid, mostly eglandular. |
basal (usually not persistent) and cauline; basal blades oblanceolate to subspatulate, 15–60 × 4–11 mm; cauline gradually reduced distally (sometimes barely subclasping), margins entire or with 2–4 pairs of teeth or lobes, faces hirsute, eglandular. |
mostly 4–6 × 9–14 mm. |
2.5–3.5 × 5–7 mm. |
20–62; corollas white or pink, often drying blue, 4–7 mm, laminae weakly coiling. |
44–70; corollas white, drying white to pink, 3–6 mm, laminae not coiling or reflexing. |
3.5–5.5 mm (throats slightly indurate, not inflated). |
1.2–1.6 mm (throats slightly indurate and inflated). |
in 3–5 series (all but outermost with stramineous margins and distal, greenish-herbaceous, narrowly rhomboid areas), strigoso- to hispido-hirsute or essentially glabrous, densely minutely glandular. |
in 2–3 series, sparsely hirsute, sometimes minutely glandular. |
1 or 2–5(–10) in loosely corymbiform arrays. |
1–20 in diffuse arrays (branches from midstem distally, peduncles often dilated near heads). |
2–3 mm, 2-nerved, faces sparsely strigose; pappi: outer of setae, inner of (15–)20–35(–50) bristles. |
0.7–0.9 mm, 2-nerved, faces sparsely strigose; pappi: outer of scales, inner of 9–11 bristles. |

Varieties 5 (5 in the flora). Erigeron breweri is treated as a member of E. sect. Linearifolii in G. L. Nesom (1992b), where all of the varieties are mapped in detail. (Discussion copyrighted by Flora of North America; reprinted with permission.) |
Erigeron geiseri is characterized by its annual duration and slender taproots, relatively small size, lobed basal leaves, peduncles often dilated near the heads, obovate phyllaries with broad, scarious margins, and relatively small disc florets and cypselae, the latter with pappi of conspicuous scales and relatively few bristles.
