basal (usually withering by flowering) and cauline; basal blades oblanceolate-spatulate, 30–80 × 5–20(–25) mm (bases usually clasping to subclasping), margins entire, faces glabrous, densely stipitate-glandular; cauline blades narrowly lanceolate to oblong-, ovate-, or elliptic-lanceolate, nearly even-sized distally or sometimes mid largest (continuing to immediately proximal to heads). |
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. |

3.7–4.7 mm. |
in 2–3(–4) series, densely stipitate-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. |
1–15(–22) in corymbiform arrays. |
1(–2, very rarely –4). |

Erigeron vreelandii is similar to E. speciosus in its perennial duration, tall stature, subclasping, spreading leaves nearly even-sized up the stems, corymbiform arrays, and blue rays; it is distinguished by the prominent vestiture of relatively long stipitate-glandular hairs. Intermediates apparently are formed between the two. (Discussion copyrighted by Flora of North America; reprinted with permission.) |
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.
