| Perennials, 3–15 cm; taprooted, caudices simple or with relatively short and thick branches. |
Perennials, 10–30(–50) cm; taprooted, caudices multicipital, often with relatively short and thin, stemlike, lignescent branches. |
erect, sometimes branched, hirsute (hairs unequal), ± minutely glandular. |
erect, sparsely to densely strigose (hairs loosely appressed to ascending, fine), densely white-strigose at least proximally, eglandular. |
mostly basal (persistent; petioles prominently ciliate, hairs spreading, thick-based); blades narrowly oblanceolate to spatulate, (20–)30–80 × 2–4(–12) mm, cauline sometimes continuing distally to about midstem, margins entire, usually ciliate, sometimes coarsely so, faces sparsely to densely hirsute, sometimes minutely glandular. |
basal (usually persistent, not clustered as rosettes) and cauline; basal blades linear to filiform, 10–80 × 0.5–2.5(–3.5) mm; cauline gradually or little reduced distally, margins entire, faces sparsely to moderately strigose, eglandular. |
5–9 × 9–20 mm. |
4–7 × 5–-18 mm. |
15–45 or 0; corollas usually pink to bluish purple, sometimes white, 5–14 mm, laminae coiling. |
(15–)20–125; corollas usually blue, sometimes white, pink, or pale lavender, 3–13 mm, laminae coiling. |
(3.5–)4–5.5 mm. |
2.5–5.5 mm. |
in 2–3 series, sparsely to densely hirsuto-villous to hirsute, minutely glandular. |
in (2–)3–4 series, loosely strigose to hirsute or nearly villous, densely to sparsely minutely glandular. |
1(–3) (from branches at or proximal to midstem). |
1–5(–10+) from distal branches, tending to be in corymbiform arrays. |
2.5–3 mm, 2-nerved, faces densely strigoso-sericeous (obscured); pappi: outer of setae, inner of 20–30 bristles. |
1.4–1.8(–2) mm, 2-nerved, faces sparsely strigose to glabrate; pappi: outer of setae, inner of 20–30 bristles. |

The densely white-strigose stem bases, linear-filiform leaves relatively unreduced distally, and relatively few heads with coiling, usually blue rays are distinctive for Erigeron filifolius. Proximal leaves are not clustered as a basal rosette; they are inserted on closely spaced nodes that are slightly more separated distally. Plants identified as var. robustior (with more ray florets, fewer heads, and thicker stems, centered in Oregon and Washington) intergrade with the typical form and apparently are separated arbitrarily.
