oak-leaf fleabane
|
| Perennials, 2.5–6 cm; taprooted, caudex branches relatively short, thick. |
|
erect, finely hirsutulous to villosulous, eglandular. |
erect to basally ascending (green proximally), proximally villous to villoso-hirsute, distally loosely strigose to hirsute, eglandular. |
mostly basal (persistent); blades linear-oblanceolate to narrowly spatulate, 10–50 × 1–3 mm, cauline mostly on proximal 1/2 of stems, reduced distally, margins entire (apices obtuse to rounded), abaxial faces glabrous, adaxial glabrous or sparsely villous, eglandular. |
basal (persistent) and cauline; basal blades oblanceolate to obovate or spatulate, 15–110(–150) × 4–25(–30) mm, margins serrate or crenate to pinnately lobed, faces hirsute to villous, eglandular; cauline blades becoming oblong, gradually reduced distally (reduced to bracts or 0 proximal to arrays, clasping to subclasping). |
5–6 × 7–12 mm. |
2.5–4 × 4.5–10 mm. |
15–35; corollas usually bluish to purplish, rarely white, 6–9 mm, laminae coiling. |

Erigeron quercifolius is primarily of the Atlantic coastal plain. Putative records from Alabama westward to Texas are based on specimens of E. philadelphicus or E. tenuis. Erigeron tenuis sometimes closely approaches E. quercifolius in overall appearance; it is more closely related to E. strigosus. Convergent plants of E. tenuis differ from E. quercifolius in their non-clasping cauline leaves, lanceolate (versus oblanceolate to obovate) phyllaries, and slightly longer cypselae (1–1.2 mm versus 0.6–0.9 mm).
