| Biennials or short-lived perennials, 5–25(–35) cm; usually fibrous-rooted, sometimes taprooted, caudices simple or branched, sometimes weakly short-rhizomatous. |
Perennials, 3–5 cm; taprooted, caudex branches relatively thick, short, retaining old leaf bases. |
erect to basally ascending, sometimes sparsely hirsuto-villous, minutely glandular. |
erect to ascending, glabrous, eglandular. |
basal (persistent) and cauline (petiole margins coarsely ciliate); basal blades oblanceolate to spatulate, 20–60 × 2–6(–10) mm; cauline gradually reduced distally, margins entire or rarely with 1–2 pairs of shallow teeth, faces sparsely hirsuto-strigose, eglandular. |
basal (persistent) and cauline (petioles, when distinct, about equaling blades); basal blades linear-oblanceolate to slightly spatulate, 10–30 × 0.5–2(–3) mm; cauline similar or slightly reduced distally, margins entire, faces sparsely strigose or glabrous, eglandular. |

Erigeron nivalis usually has been treated as an infra-specific taxon within E. acris; the two are broadly sympatric in the northwestern United States and Canada without obvious intergrades. Both occur over a wide range of elevations and in similar habitats. Erigeron nivalis probably occurs in Nevada; it has not been taxonomically distinguished there. Erigeron scotteri was regarded by E. H. Moss and J. G. Packer (1983) as a synonym of E. acris (presumably var. debilis = E. nivalis; the heads are relatively small and borne singly).
