Perennials, 2–8 cm; taprooted, caudices branched, retaining old leaf bases. |
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. |
erect (greenish proximally, essentially scapiform), strigose, eglandular. |
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. |
mostly basal (persistent); blades oblanceolate to spatulate, 10–50 × (1–)2–5(–7) mm, sometimes continuing on proximal 1/2 of stems, margins entire, faces usually sparsely to densely strigose, abaxial sometimes glabrous or glabrate, eglandular. |
3–5 × 6–13 mm. |

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. Rays of Erigeron untermannii tend to both coil and reflex, emphasizing its apparent close relationship to E. caespitosus. The leaves are often spatulate and glabrous to glabrate abaxially, features more similar to E. radicatus and its close relatives. Hybrid parentage is a reasonable hypothesis.
