| Perennials, 5–55(–70) cm; rhizomatous, fibrous-rooted, caudices usually simple, thick. |
Perennials, 2–8 cm; taprooted, caudices branched, retaining old leaf bases. |
erect to basally ascending, hirsute to hirsuto- or strigoso-villous (hairs loosely appressed, slightly crinkled), sometimes loosely strigose distally (var. thompsonii), eglandular. |
erect (greenish proximally, essentially scapiform), strigose, eglandular. |
basal (persistent) and cauline; basal blades linear-oblanceolate to broadly lanceolate or spatulate, (30–)50–100 × 5–25 mm; cauline gradually reduced distally (bases distinctly subclasping, except when greatly reduced), margins entire, faces hirsute, hirsuto-villous, sparsely villosulous, glabrate, or glabrous, eglandular. |
mostly basal (persistent); blades oblanceolate to spatulate, 10–50 × (1–)2–5(–7) mm, sometimes continuing on proximal 1/2 of stems, margins entire, faces usually sparsely to densely strigose, abaxial sometimes glabrous or glabrate, eglandular. |
5–9(–12) × 10–22(–25) mm. |
5–7 × 6–12(–15) mm. |
30–80; corollas usually blue to rose purple or pink, sometimes white to pale blue, 12–20(–25) mm (mostly 1.5–3 mm wide), laminae coiling. |
14–30; corollas white to pink or purplish, 4–8 mm, laminae coiling and reflexing. |
3.5–4.5 mm. |
3.5–5 mm. |
in 2–3(–4) series (margins usually ciliate), abaxially sparsely to moderately villoso-hirsute, usually eglandular, sometimes sparsely gland-dotted apically, rarely sparsely so over adaxial faces (especially in var. thompsonii). |
in 2–3(–4) series, densely hispiduloso-hirsute, eglandular. |

Of conservation concern. Rays of Erigeron untermannii tend to both coil and reflex, emphasizing its apparent close relationship to E. caespitosus. The leaves are often spatulate and glabrous to glabrate abaxially, features more similar to E. radicatus and its close relatives. Hybrid parentage is a reasonable hypothesis.
