| Perennials, (8–)25–90 cm; taprooted, caudices woody. |
Perennials, 5–15(–24) cm; taprooted, caudices branches relatively thick and short, retaining old leaf bases. |
erect, sparsely hirsuto-villous (hairs 0.6–2 mm) or glabrous, densely stipitate-glandular (at least on distal 1/2, glands relatively large, capitate). |
ascending to decumbent (greenish proximally), usually loosely strigose (hairs ascending, attenuate, basal cells erect), uncommonly hirsute or hirtellous (hairs spreading-deflexed), eglandular. |
basal (sometimes withering by flowering) and cauline; basal blades 15–60 × 8–37 mm; cauline gradually reduced distally, margins deeply pinnatifid, lobes 2–4(–5) pairs, faces usually glabrous, stipitate-glandular. |
basal (persistent) and cauline; basal blades usually oblanceolate, 15–70 × 2–6(–8) mm (bases attenuate), margins entire (apices rounded to obtuse); cauline blades linear to linear-oblong or narrowly lanceolate-oblong, mostly 10–40 × 1.5–4 mm, gradually reduced distally; faces strigose, eglandular. |
4.5–5.5 × 8–12 mm. |
3.7–5.2 × (5–)10–11 mm. |
75–130; corollas white, 8–14 mm, laminae reflexing. |
35–60; corollas blue to pink or white, 5–6 mm, laminae weakly coiling. |
2.8–3.5 mm. |
2.5–4 mm. |
in 3–4 series, glabrous or sparsely hirsute, densely stipitate-glandular. |
in 2–3(–4) series, strigose to strigulose or finely hirsuto-villous, minutely glandular. |
(1–)5–25(–50) in loosely corymbiform arrays. |
1–4. |
1–1.2 mm, 2-nerved, faces sparsely strigose; pappi: outer of setae, inner (readily falling) of (8–)10–12 bristles. |
1.5–2 mm, 2-nerved, faces strigose; pappi: outer of setae, inner of 12–20 bristles. |

Erigeron oreophilus is similar to E. neomexicanus in its perennial habit, typically pinnatifid leaves, white, reflexing rays, and 10–12 readily falling pappus bristles; it has a vestiture of dense, viscid, stipitate glands and sparse, spreading, nonglandular hairs.

Of conservation concern. Erigeron abajoensis is a segregate of E. caespitosus, separated from the latter only by its strigose (versus hirsute) stems and leaves and greater tendency for 1-nerved leaves. Further, some populations of E. abajoensis have plants variable in orientation of stem vestiture [both antrorsely appressed and deflexed; e.g., Cronquist 9430, Garfield Co., Utah (BRIT, NY); Heil and Clifford 17919, Apache Co., Ariz. (BRIT, SJNM)] and similar variation in cauline vestiture also occurs in E. caespitosus. (Discussion copyrighted by Flora of North America; reprinted with permission.) |
