| Perennials, 3–20(–30) cm; taprooted, caudex branches relatively short and thick. |
Perennials, (10–)15–30 cm; rhizomatous, fibrous-rooted, caudices or rhizomes sometimes with relatively short or elongate, slightly woody branches. |
erect, loosely to closely, sparsely to moderately strigose (hairs 0.1–0.9 mm), usually minutely glandular (glands barely evident), sometimes eglandular. |
ascending-erect, glabrous, sometimes minutely glandular distally. |
basal (usually persistent) and cauline (petioles prominently ciliate at least on proximal portions, hairs spreading, thick-based); basal blades linear-oblanceolate, 20–100 × 1–4 mm, margins entire, faces strigose, eglandular; cauline usually restricted to proximal 1/2 of stems, slightly reduced distally. |
basal (often persistent) and cauline; basal blades spatulate to obovate or oblanceolate, (10–)40–80(–120) × 4–12(–15) mm; cauline equal-sized or gradually reduced distally (bases sometimes weakly subclasping), margins entire, faces glabrous, eglandular. |

Plants from Chaffee and Fremont counties, Colorado, have strigose leaves and the compact habit of Erigeron engelmannii but sparsely spreading-hirsute stems; they may be intermediate between E. engelmannii and E. concinnus. Unusual variation in the pappi of E. engelmannii also suggests that the species needs study and better definition. A. Cronquist observed that “Erigeron engelmannii intergrades completely with E. pumilus, yet has two geographic subspecies of its own, and shows no distributional similarity to the [taxa] of E. pumilus,” and that E. engelmannii is “smaller and more delicate, with shorter finer hairs, and [has] smaller heads with usually fewer ligules.” (Discussion copyrighted by Flora of North America; reprinted with permission.) |
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.) |
