| Perennials, 15–60 cm; rhizomatous, fibrous-rooted, primary rhizomes relatively slender, producing slender, herbaceous, scale-leaved, stoloniform rhizomes (rhizomes often not collected). |
Biennials or short-lived perennials, 10–45 cm; fibrous-rooted, caudices simple. |
erect to ascending (usually abruptly dilated proximal to heads), villous (more densely so on proximal 1/2), eglandular. |
ascending (usually reddish proximally, branched distally), strigose, rarely hirsute proximally, eglandular. |
basal (persistent) and cauline; basal blades oblanceolate to obovate or suborbiculate, subspatulate, 20–130(–180) × 6–30(–50) mm; cauline gradually reduced distally (bases clasping and slightly auriculate), margins usually dentate to denticulate, rarely entire, faces sparsely to moderately hirsute to hirsuto-villous, sometimes glabrate or glabrous (especially adaxially), eglandular. |
basal (commonly persistent) and cauline; basal blades oblanceolate to obovate or spatulate, 20–100(–130) × 4–20 mm, margins serrate or crenate to pinnately lobed, faces sparsely hirsute to strigoso-hirsute (hairs ascending), eglandular; cauline becoming narrower and entire (bases not clasping or subclasping), abruptly reduced near midstem. |
5–7 × 6–20 mm. |
(2–)2.5–4 × 5–10 mm. |
50–80(–100); corollas light blue to purplish, pink, or white, 6–10 mm, laminae coiling tardily at tips. |
60–120; corollas blue to pale lavender or white, drying blue to purplish, 3–5 mm, laminae not coiling or reflexing. |
4.5–6 mm. |
2–2.7 mm. |
in 2–3(–4) series, sparsely to moderately hirsute to hirsuto-villous (cross walls not distinctly colored), minutely glandular to stipitate-glandular. |
in 2–4 series, sparsely strigose, eglandular. |
1–4(–9). |
(1–)3–20(–60) in loosely corymbiform arrays (usually from branches beyond midstem). |
1.3–1.8 mm, 2(–4)-nerved, faces sparsely strigose to glabrate or glabrous; pappi: outer 0 or of setae, inner of (22–)28–36 bristles. |
1–1.2 mm, 2(–4)-nerved, faces sparsely strigose; pappi: outer of setae, inner of 11–15 bristles. |

A plant reported as Erigeron tenuis disjunct in North Carolina is perhaps better identified as E. strigosus: pappus bristles on the ray cypselae are reduced and variable in number. (Discussion copyrighted by Flora of North America; reprinted with permission.) |
