| Perennials, 3–15 cm; taprooted, caudices branched. |
Perennials, 10–30(–50) cm; taprooted, caudices multicipital, often with relatively short and thin, stemlike, lignescent branches. |
erect (bracteate), evenly hispidulous to hirsute, usually minutely glandular. |
erect, sparsely to densely strigose (hairs loosely appressed to ascending, fine), densely white-strigose at least proximally, eglandular. |
mostly basal (in tufts, persistent) (petioles prominently ciliate, hairs spreading, thick-based); blades linear to linear-oblanceolate, 40–70(–90) × 1–3 mm, cauline reduced to bracts (bases relatively thin, not sheathing), margins entire, coarsely ciliate, faces hispidulous to loosely strigose. |
basal (usually persistent, not clustered as rosettes) and cauline; basal blades linear to filiform, 10–80 × 0.5–2.5(–3.5) mm; cauline gradually or little reduced distally, margins entire, faces sparsely to moderately strigose, eglandular. |
(3.5–)4.5–7.5 × 9–17 mm. |
4–7 × 5–-18 mm. |
|
(15–)20–125; corollas usually blue, sometimes white, pink, or pale lavender, 3–13 mm, laminae coiling. |
20–60; corollas tubular, lacking laminae, or laminae yellow (sometimes fading on drying and appearing whitish or creamy), 2–10 mm, not coiling or reflexing. |
|
4–4.5 mm (throats tubular). |
2.5–5.5 mm. |
in 2–3 series, sparsely hispid, minutely glandular. |

Varieties 3 (3 in the flora). Intermediates between var. austiniae and var. chrysopsidis are formed in Oregon and Idaho, where their ranges overlap. (Discussion copyrighted by Flora of North America; reprinted with permission.) |
The densely white-strigose stem bases, linear-filiform leaves relatively unreduced distally, and relatively few heads with coiling, usually blue rays are distinctive for Erigeron filifolius. Proximal leaves are not clustered as a basal rosette; they are inserted on closely spaced nodes that are slightly more separated distally. Plants identified as var. robustior (with more ray florets, fewer heads, and thicker stems, centered in Oregon and Washington) intergrade with the typical form and apparently are separated arbitrarily.
