| Perennials, 1.5–5(–7) cm (forming densely compact cushions); taprooted, caudex branches rhizomelike, relatively numerous, short, and slender. |
Perennials 2–20 cm; rhizomatous, fibrous-rooted, rhizomes or caudices sometimes branched. |
erect (simple, scapiform), sparsely to densely hirsuto-villous, minutely glandular. |
erect, moderately villoso-hirsute (hairs sometimes retrorse), eglandular. |
basal (persistent; petioles linear, 0.5–1 mm wide); blades obovate-spatulate, 3–16 × 3–6 mm (bases abruptly expanded), margins mostly 3-lobed, rarely entire or 2-lobed (lobes 2–8 mm, oblong to ovate or obovate, rounded), ultimately entire, coarsely ciliate, faces sparsely to densely hirsute, ± minutely glandular. |
basal (persistent) and cauline; basal blades oblanceolate to spatulate or subspatulate, 20–50(–80) × 4–10 mm, margins entire, (apices rounded) faces moderately villoso-hirsute, eglandular; cauline broadly linear to narrowly lanceolate-oblong, gradually reduced distally. |

in 2–3 series (commonly purplish, sometimes at tips only), sparsely to densely hirsuto-villous to villous (hairs usually with colored cross walls), minutely glandular. |
in 2–3 series (somewhat foliaceous, usually green, faces sometimes purplish throughout or at tips), villous (usually mostly on proximal 1/2, hairs rigid, usually oriented in single direction, cross walls sometimes colored), eglandular. |

Of conservation concern. The compactly cespitose, cushionlike habit of Erigeron salishii may obscure the slender, loose branches of the caudex in herbarium specimens. The species otherwise is similar to E. vagus; the leaves of E. salishii are mostly smaller and the hairs thinner and looser (villous) compared to those of E. vagus.

T. W. Böcher et al. (1968) identified this as Erigeron uniflorus in the strict sense and treated E. uniflorus var. eriocephalus as the distinct species E. eriocephalus. A. Cronquist (1947) viewed E. alpiniformis as distinct from both E. eriocephalus and E. borealis (Vierhapper) Simmons. The taxonomy of those plants needs to be reviewed in detail.
