Porsild's arctic fleabane
|
| Perennials, 4–11 cm; taprooted, caudex branches usually relatively thick, woody. |
Perennials, (2–)10–20(–25) cm; rhizomatous, fibrous-rooted, rhizomes horizontal or erect, sometimes branched, relatively short, sometimes resembling taproots. |
erect, sparsely to moderately hispidulous and minutely glandular, sometimes merely glandular. |
erect, sparsely to moderately villous (hairs 0.5–1.6 mm), usually stipitate-glandular (hairs 0.05–0.4 mm). |
mostly basal and proximal (persistent); basal blades spatulate to obovate (often folding), 20–40(–50) × 5–10 mm, margins pinnatifid (lobes linear), faces usually glabrate, sometimes sparsely hirsute, usually minutely glandular; cauline blades mostly linear, abruptly reduced distally or nearly absent, margins entire, usually coarsely ciliate. |
basal (persistent) and cauline; basal blades oblong-oblanceolate to narrowly obovate, 30–120 × (3–)5–14 mm, margins entire (apices acute), faces densely hirsute to coarsely villous, sparsely stipitate-glandular to minutely glandular; cauline blades oblong-lanceolate to lanceolate, gradually reduced distally or nearly equal-sized (bases often subclasping). |
5.5–8 × 9–13 mm. |
6–10 × 12–20 mm. |
40–70; corollas usually light blue, sometimes slightly purplish, drying bluish or fading lighter, 7–12 mm, laminae reflexing. |
65–110; corollas white to lavender or blue, 13–17 mm (1.2–1.7 mm wide), laminae weakly coiling. |
3.8–4.5 mm. |
3.8–4.5 mm. |

Erigeron hultenii S. A. Spongberg was noted to be “closely allied to the polymorphic arctic-alpine species E. grandiflorus W. J. Hooker” (S. A. Spongberg 1973, p. 116) and to have a “close morphologic resemblance to some plants of E. grandiflorus from Alaska” [E. porsildii in the present sense] (p. 119). Plants corresponding to E. hultenii have not been recollected, and that taxon does not fit with any other known Alaskan species. Contrasts with E. porsildii exclude it from that species. Erigeron hultenii is not recognized formally herein. (Discussion copyrighted by Flora of North America; reprinted with permission.) |
