Plants with relatively elongate basal leaves and cauline leaves little reduced distally (identified as Erigeron delicatus) are much different in general aspect; intermediates bridge the morphologic extremes. (Discussion copyrighted by Flora of North America; reprinted with permission.) |
Erigeron nivalis usually has been treated as an infra-specific taxon within E. acris; the two are broadly sympatric in the northwestern United States and Canada without obvious intergrades. Both occur over a wide range of elevations and in similar habitats. Erigeron nivalis probably occurs in Nevada; it has not been taxonomically distinguished there. Erigeron scotteri was regarded by E. H. Moss and J. G. Packer (1983) as a synonym of E. acris (presumably var. debilis = E. nivalis; the heads are relatively small and borne singly).
