Bear River fleabane

scepter-bearing fleabane
|
| Perennials, (1.5–)5–25(–30) cm; rhizomatous, fibrous-rooted, forming diffuse systems of slender, rhizomelike caudex branches. |
Annuals, 3–8 cm; taprooted. |
ascending (bases usually purplish), glabrous or sparsely strigose (or hairs loosely spreading), sometimes glandular near heads. |
(single or multiple) ascending from bases, moderately hirsuto-hirtellous (hairs spreading-ascending, mostly on ribs, bases thickened), minutely glandular. |
basal (persistent) and cauline; basal (purplish) and proximal blades narrowly oblanceolate to oblong, 20–120 × 2–11 mm, cauline reduced distally, margins entire, ciliate, faces glabrous or loosely strigose, eglandular. |
mostly cauline; blades linear to linear-oblanceolate, 10–30 × 0.5–1.5 mm (proximal rarely 4 mm wide), margins entire or proximalmost with 1–2 pairs of teeth, faces loosely ascending-strigose, minutely glandular. |
5–7 × 9–19 mm. |
3–3.5 × 4–6 mm. |
30–100; corollas pink to bluish purple, 6–15 mm, laminae not reflexing or coiling, sometimes tardily coiling. |
(60–)85–130(–195); corollas white, drying purple, less often pink to bluish, 3.8–5 mm, laminae downward curving-reflexing. |
3.2–4.7 mm. |
1.8–2.3 mm (throats indurate and inflated). |
in 2–3(–4) series (margins and tips often purplish, loose, linear-lanceolate, apices spreading), sparsely to moderately villous to hirsuto-villous, densely minutely glandular. |
in 3–4 series, sparsely hirsuto-strigose, minutely glandular. |
1(–3). |
20–50+ in loosely corymbiform arrays (buds erect). |
1.5–2 mm, 2-nerved, faces sparsely strigose; pappi: outer of setae, inner of 10–20 bristles. |
0.6–0.7 mm, 2-nerved (nerves orange), faces sparsely strigose; pappi: outer 0 or scales or setae, inner of 9–14 bristles. |

Of conservation concern. Erigeron sceptrifer is similar in habit to E. divergens; it has stem hairs only along the ribs, erect (versus nodding) buds, pappi of more bristles, without a conspicuous outer series, reflexing ray laminae, and orange cypselar nerves.
