Engelmann's fleabane
|
| Perennials, (8–)25–90 cm; taprooted, caudices woody. |
Perennials, 3–20(–30) cm; taprooted, caudex branches relatively short and thick. |
erect, sparsely hirsuto-villous (hairs 0.6–2 mm) or glabrous, densely stipitate-glandular (at least on distal 1/2, glands relatively large, capitate). |
erect, loosely to closely, sparsely to moderately strigose (hairs 0.1–0.9 mm), usually minutely glandular (glands barely evident), sometimes 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 (usually persistent) and cauline (petioles prominently ciliate at least on proximal portions, hairs spreading, thick-based); basal blades linear-oblanceolate, 20–100 × 1–4 mm, margins entire, faces strigose, eglandular; cauline usually restricted to proximal 1/2 of stems, slightly reduced distally. |
4.5–5.5 × 8–12 mm. |
3.5–5(–6) × 7–12 mm. |
75–130; corollas white, 8–14 mm, laminae reflexing. |
(35–)45–100; corollas white, sometimes pink or bluish, 5–10 mm, laminae (0.8–1.1 mm wide) primarily reflexing, sometimes also weakly coiling at the tips. |
2.8–3.5 mm. |
(2.5–)2.7–4.2 mm (throats indurate and inflated, densely puberulent). |
in 3–4 series, glabrous or sparsely hirsute, densely stipitate-glandular. |
in 2–3(–4) series, coarsely hirsuto-villous, sparsely to moderately minutely glandular. |
(1–)5–25(–50) in loosely corymbiform arrays. |
1(–3). |
1–1.2 mm, 2-nerved, faces sparsely strigose; pappi: outer of setae, inner (readily falling) of (8–)10–12 bristles. |
1.4–1.8 mm (oblong), 2-nerved, faces sparsely strigose; pappi: outer usually of narrow scales, sometimes 0 or 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. (Discussion copyrighted by Flora of North America; reprinted with permission.) |
Plants from Chaffee and Fremont counties, Colorado, have strigose leaves and the compact habit of Erigeron engelmannii but sparsely spreading-hirsute stems; they may be intermediate between E. engelmannii and E. concinnus. Unusual variation in the pappi of E. engelmannii also suggests that the species needs study and better definition. A. Cronquist observed that “Erigeron engelmannii intergrades completely with E. pumilus, yet has two geographic subspecies of its own, and shows no distributional similarity to the [taxa] of E. pumilus,” and that E. engelmannii is “smaller and more delicate, with shorter finer hairs, and [has] smaller heads with usually fewer ligules.” (Discussion copyrighted by Flora of North America; reprinted with permission.) |
