Annuals or short-lived perennials, 6–30(–40) cm; taprooted, caudices simple or branched. |
first erect (greenish proximally; usually single, simple), then producing herbaceous, leafy, prostrate runners (usually with rooting plantlets at tips, populations often becoming clonal mats), strigose (often sparsely; hairs antrorsely appressed, consistent in orientation), sometimes slightly glandular distally. |
decumbent-ascending to erect (branched), usually sparsely strigose (hairs rarely ascending-spreading), sometimes sparsely hirsutulous distally, sometimes sparsely glandular, sometimes minutely glandular distally. |
basal (often persistent) and cauline; basal blades broadly oblanceolate to elliptic, 20–55 × 3–9 mm; cauline abruptly reduced distally, margins entire or dentate, faces strigose, eglandular. |
basal (persistent) and cauline; basal blades oblanceolate-spatulate to spatulate, 10–70 × 2–8(–13) mm, margins usually entire, sometimes dentate or pinnately divided, faces sparsely strigose, eglandular; cauline blades linear to oblanceolate, reduced distally. |
3–5 × 6–13 mm. |
2–3.5 × 5.5–7.5 mm. |
40–125; corollas white, often with an abaxial midstripe, often drying lilac, 4–10 mm, laminae not coiling or reflexing. |
37–85; corollas white, drying lilac, with abaxial lilac midstripe, 3.5–7 mm; laminae not coiling or reflexing. |
2–3.5 mm. |
1.6–2.4 mm (throats slightly indurate and inflated). |
in 2–3 series, strigose to loosely hirsute, minutely glandular. |
in 3–5 series, sparsely to moderately hirtellous, minutely glandular. |
1(–3, on proximal branches). |
1–50+ in diffuse arrays (first 1 per branch, later more from axillary branches). |
0.8–1.3 mm, 2-nerved, faces sparsely strigose; pappi: outer of setae, inner of 10–17 bristles. |
0.8–1.2 mm, 2-nerved, faces sparsely strigose; pappi: outer of setae, inner of 6–12 bristles. |
or short-lived perennials, 3–15 cm; usually fibrous-rooted, sometimes taprooted, caudices lignescent, rarely branched. |

Early season forms of Erigeron flagellaris may consist of a basal rosette and a single, erect, scapiform, monocephalous stem; leafy runners usually develop quickly. Many polyploids of this species are indistinguishable from diploids; some polyploids have features suggestive of genetic influence of E. tracyi. (Discussion copyrighted by Flora of North America; reprinted with permission.) |
Of conservation concern. Erigeron religiosus differs from E. divergens in stem vestiture (strigose, less densely hairy, less glandular) and petiolate basal leaves persistent into flowering. It differs in habit and habitat from E. sionis; it sometimes occurs in proximity; the uncommon presence of deeply lobed leaves in E. religiosus suggests gene flow from E. sionis.
