| Biennials or perennials, 7–50(–70) cm; rhizomatous, caudices or rhizomes relatively short and thickened, simple or branched, usually appearing merely fibrous-rooted. |
Perennials, (1–)2–6(–12) cm; taprooted, caudices branches relatively short, thick. |
erect or slightly basally ascending, hirsute or hirsuto-villous to strigose or glabrate, eglandular. |
erect, strigose to sparsely or densely short-villous (hairs loosely appressed to ascending or spreading), eglandular. |
basal (persistent) and cauline; basal blades oblanceolate to oblanceolate-spatulate, 40–150 × 3–15 mm, margins usually entire, sometimes shallowly dentate, faces hirsute or hirsuto-villous to sparsely strigose or glabrate, eglandular; cauline blades usually becoming lanceolate, abruptly or gradually reduced distally (bases sometimes subclasping). |
mostly basal (persistent) (eciliate or weakly ciliate proximally); blades 1-nerved linear to narrowly oblanceolate or subspatulate, (5–)10–50(–60) × 0.8–2.5 mm (bases gradually narrowing), margins entire (apices obtuse to rounded), abaxial faces glabrate or glabrous, shiny, adaxial sparsely, loosely strigose, eglandular; cauline mostly on proximal 1/2–1/3 of stems (absent in some high elevation forms), abruptly or gradually reduced distally. |
5–9 × 10–20 mm. |
(3–)4–6(–8) × (5–)8–12(–15) mm. |
125–175; corollas white to pink or blue, 8–15 mm, laminae (nearly filiform) coiling tardily at tips. |
(12–)20–44(–85); corollas white, less commonly purplish, 4–7(–8) mm, laminae coiling. |
4–5.5 mm. |
(2–)2.5–3.5(–4) mm. |
in (2–)3–4 series (greenish), hirsute to strigose, eglandular. |
in 2–3(–4) series (subequal), villosulous to villoso-hirsutulous (hairs usually with purplish cross walls at least in basal cells), minutely glandular apically or eglandular. |

Varieties 2 (2 in the flora). Erigeron glabellus is recognized by its subsimple caudices and fibrous-rooted bases, relatively numerous rays with nearly filiform laminae, and nonglandular vestiture. (Discussion copyrighted by Flora of North America; reprinted with permission.) |
Collections of Erigeron radicatus often have been identified as E. ochroleucus var. scribneri; E. radicatus is distinctive in its branched caudex, villous cauline vestiture, more reduced leaf vestiture, involucral vestiture of hairs with purple cross walls, shorter disc corollas, and relatively few, readily falling pappus bristles. Erigeron radicatus often is essentially scapiform at relatively high elevation (2700–3400 m) in Idaho, Montana, Utah, and Wyoming; more eastern populations in the Great Plains, at lower elevations (1400–2600 m), have leafier stems but are hardly different in other features. Plants of some populations in Albany and Carbon counties, Wyoming, produce atypically shorter rays. (Discussion copyrighted by Flora of North America; reprinted with permission.) |
