|
erect, sparsely to moderately strigose or loosely strigoso-villous or nearly glabrous, often also minutely glandular distally. |

basal (persistent) and cauline; blades oblanceolate to spatulate, 20–140 × 3–16 mm, cauline spreading, gradually reduced distally, margins usually entire, rarely serrate-dentate, faces glabrous or sparsely villoso-hirsute, distal sometimes also glandular. |

Erigeron angulosus Gaudin, E. asteroides Andrzejowski ex Besser, E. droebachiensis O. F. Mueller ex Retzius, E. elongatus Ledebour, and E. politus Fries, names previously used for the widespread American plants of var. kamtschaticus, refer to Eurasian endemics (summary in G. L. Nesom 2004e). E. Hultén (1968) restricted the name var. kamtschaticus to a single North American collection made at “Junction Firth R. and Mancha Creek on the Alaska-Yukon boundary in August 1961,” treating all others of the species in North America as subsp. politus. Entire-leaved plants apparently are the common form of the species even in the Kamtschatka area, and var. kamtschaticus appears to be correct at varietal rank for the North American plants. Erigeron kamtschaticus has been treated as a species separate from E. acris in other recent literature. Circumscription and rank of E. acris and closely related taxa are in need of study. Erigeron lapiluteus A. Nelson is not a legitimate name. (Discussion copyrighted by Flora of North America; reprinted with permission.) |
