| Perennials, (1–)2–6(–12) cm; taprooted, caudices branches relatively short, thick. |
Annuals, 15–40 cm; slenderly taprooted. |
erect, strigose to sparsely or densely short-villous (hairs loosely appressed to ascending or spreading), eglandular. |
initially erect, later ascending to decumbent (herbaceous), proximally spreading- to deflexed-villous, closely to loosely strigose on distal 1/3–1/2, eglandular. |
mostly basal (persistent) (eciliate or weakly ciliate proximally); blades 1-nerved linear to narrowly oblanceolate or subspatulate, (5–)10–50(–60) × 0.8–2.5 mm (bases gradually narrowing), margins entire (apices obtuse to rounded), abaxial faces glabrate or glabrous, shiny, adaxial sparsely, loosely strigose, eglandular; cauline mostly on proximal 1/2–1/3 of stems (absent in some high elevation forms), abruptly or gradually reduced distally. |
basal (often drying translucent, often withering by flowering) and cauline; basal (thin) blades oblanceolate to obovate or spatulate, 10–80(–140) × 5–34 mm, cauline slightly or gradually reduced to distal 1/3 of stems (bases clasping), margins usually with 1–4 pairs of teeth or lobes, sometimes entire, faces sparsely short-hirsute to hirsuto-villous, eglandular. |
(3–)4–6(–8) × (5–)8–12(–15) mm. |
2.5–3 × 5–10 mm. |
(12–)20–44(–85); corollas white, less commonly purplish, 4–7(–8) mm, laminae coiling. |
95–160(–250); corollas white to bluish, 2.5–4 mm, laminae not coiling or reflexing. |
(2–)2.5–3.5(–4) mm. |
1.7–2 mm. |
in 2–3(–4) series (subequal), villosulous to villoso-hirsutulous (hairs usually with purplish cross walls at least in basal cells), minutely glandular apically or eglandular. |
in 2–4 series, hirsute to sparsely villous, minutely glandular. |
1. |
(1–)3–10(–20) in diffuse arrays (branches from distal 2/3). |
2.1–2.5 mm, 2-nerved, faces sparsely strigose; pappi: outer of scales, inner of (6–)7–11 (readily falling) bristles. |
0.6–0.8 mm, 2-nerved, faces sparsely strigose; pappi: outer of setae, inner of 10–13(–15) bristles. |

Collections of Erigeron radicatus often have been identified as E. ochroleucus var. scribneri; E. radicatus is distinctive in its branched caudex, villous cauline vestiture, more reduced leaf vestiture, involucral vestiture of hairs with purple cross walls, shorter disc corollas, and relatively few, readily falling pappus bristles. Erigeron radicatus often is essentially scapiform at relatively high elevation (2700–3400 m) in Idaho, Montana, Utah, and Wyoming; more eastern populations in the Great Plains, at lower elevations (1400–2600 m), have leafier stems but are hardly different in other features. Plants of some populations in Albany and Carbon counties, Wyoming, produce atypically shorter rays. (Discussion copyrighted by Flora of North America; reprinted with permission.) |
