Erigeron trifidus has been treated as a synonym of E. compositus; caudex branches of the latter usually are relatively thick and short, compared to those of E. trifidus, which are thinner and are not covered with persistent leaf bases. Leaves of E. trifidus are consistently 3-lobed. Erigeron trifidus was hypothesized (J. G. Packer 1983) to be of hybrid origin (based on its polyploid chromosome number and sterile pollen), with E. lanatus and E. compositus as the most likely parents (based on intermediate morphology and sympatry of the putative parents).
