Of conservation concern. Erigeron arisolius is similar in general appearance to E. divergens; the erect buds and reflexing rays of E. arisolius contrast with the nodding buds and non-reflexing rays of E. divergens. Additionally, the latter has evenly distributed stem pubescence, cypselae with whitish nerves (versus orange), and fewer pappus bristles. Erigeron sceptrifer also may be difficult to distinguish from these: it is more similar to E. arisolius in vestiture and has shorter rays that usually become purple upon drying and that are downward-curved, compared to those of E. arisolius, where the rays dry a lighter color and reflex at the tube-lamina junction.
