| Perennials, 20–70(–90) cm; taprooted, woody. |
|
basally decumbent, abruptly erect, usually glabrous or glabrate, rarely sparsely strigose on proximal 1/2, or hirsutulous proximally and strigose distally, or distally densely hirsutulous (hairs usually ± deflexed, sometimes loosely antrorsely ascending; var. keilii), eglandular. |
erect to basally ascending (green proximally), proximally villous to villoso-hirsute, distally loosely strigose to hirsute, eglandular. |
cauline; blades narrowly oblong-oblanceolate to linear, 20–60 × 2–7 mm, seldom reduced distally, margins entire, faces glabrous, sparsely strigose, or hispid, eglandular. |
basal (persistent) and cauline; basal blades oblanceolate to obovate or spatulate, 15–110(–150) × 4–25(–30) mm, margins serrate or crenate to pinnately lobed, faces hirsute to villous, eglandular; cauline blades becoming oblong, gradually reduced distally (reduced to bracts or 0 proximal to arrays, clasping to subclasping). |
4.5–6.5 × 7–12 mm. |
2.5–4 × 4.5–10 mm. |
|
100–150; corollas usually blue, sometimes white to pink, 4–6 mm, laminae not coiling or reflexing. |

3.8–4.5 mm (throats slightly indurate, not inflated). |
1.5–2.8 mm. |
in 3–5 series (margins broad, stramineous, midveins orange, thin), glabrous, usually eglandular, rarely minutely glandular. |
in (2–)3–4 series (sometimes basally connate), strigose to hirsuto-villous, eglandular or sparsely minutely glandular. |
(discoid) (1–)2–15 in corymbiform arrays. |
(1–)4–16(–50) in corymbiform arrays (from branches distal to midstem). |
2–3 mm, 2-nerved, faces glabrous; pappi: outer of setae, inner of 28–45 bristles. |
0.6–0.9 mm, 2-nerved, faces sparsely strigose; pappi: outer of setae, inner of 10–15 bristles. |

Erigeron quercifolius is primarily of the Atlantic coastal plain. Putative records from Alabama westward to Texas are based on specimens of E. philadelphicus or E. tenuis. Erigeron tenuis sometimes closely approaches E. quercifolius in overall appearance; it is more closely related to E. strigosus. Convergent plants of E. tenuis differ from E. quercifolius in their non-clasping cauline leaves, lanceolate (versus oblanceolate to obovate) phyllaries, and slightly longer cypselae (1–1.2 mm versus 0.6–0.9 mm).
