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.) |
