alpine fleabane

| Perennials, 15–60 cm; rhizomatous, fibrous-rooted, caudices or primary rhizomes slender, simple or branched, usually producing slender, herbaceous, scale-leaved stolons bearing terminal leaf tufts. |
Perennials 2–20 cm; rhizomatous, fibrous-rooted, rhizomes or caudices sometimes branched. |
erect to ascending, usually glabrous, sometimes sparsely hirsuto-pilose proximal to heads, densely minutely glandular to nearly eglandular. |
erect, moderately villoso-hirsute (hairs sometimes retrorse), eglandular. |
basal (persistent) and cauline; basal blades spatulate to elliptic-spatulate (to oblanceolate-obovate), 30–150 × 9–35 mm; cauline gradually reduced distally (bases usually clasping to subclasping), margins entire or serrulate to mucronulate with 3–5 pairs of teeth, faces glabrous, distal often glandular. |
basal (persistent) and cauline; basal blades oblanceolate to spatulate or subspatulate, 20–50(–80) × 4–10 mm, margins entire, (apices rounded) faces moderately villoso-hirsute, eglandular; cauline broadly linear to narrowly lanceolate-oblong, gradually reduced distally. |
7–9 × 11–19 mm. |
6–8 × 12–20 mm. |
40–80; corollas white to bluish or lavender, 12–20 mm, laminae coiling. |
100–200; corollas white to pink-purple, 4–6 mm, laminae erect (filiform, 0.3–1 mm wide), not coiling or reflexing. |
(3.6–)4–5.8 mm. |
3.7–4.7 mm. |
in 3–4 series (often purplish), usually glabrous, sometimes sparsely villous at bases, minutely glandular. |
in 2–3 series (somewhat foliaceous, usually green, faces sometimes purplish throughout or at tips), villous (usually mostly on proximal 1/2, hairs rigid, usually oriented in single direction, cross walls sometimes colored), eglandular. |
1–5(–15). |
1(–2, very rarely –4). |
1.8–2.5 mm, 2(–4)-nerved, faces sparsely strigose; pappi: outer of setae, inner of 20–30 bristles. |
1.5 mm (immature), 2-nerved, faces sparsely strigose; pappi: outer of setae, inner of 20–30 (non-accrescent) bristles. |

Erigeron eximius apparently sometimes forms intermediates with E. formosissimus. (Discussion copyrighted by Flora of North America; reprinted with permission.) |
T. W. Böcher et al. (1968) identified this as Erigeron uniflorus in the strict sense and treated E. uniflorus var. eriocephalus as the distinct species E. eriocephalus. A. Cronquist (1947) viewed E. alpiniformis as distinct from both E. eriocephalus and E. borealis (Vierhapper) Simmons. The taxonomy of those plants needs to be reviewed in detail.
