Perennials 5–15 cm; rhizomatous, fibrous-rooted, caudex or rhizome branches relatively short and thick. |
Perennials, 5–15 cm; rhizomatous, fibrous-rooted, primary rhizomes slender, lignescent, sometimes herbaceous, leafy (like runners), producing terminal rosettes, apparently without central axes. |
basally ascending, sparsely villous to pilose, minutely glandular. |
ascending (greenish), sparsely pilose (hairs spreading-ascending), strigose proximally, eglandular. |
mostly basal (persistent; petioles equaling or longer than blades); blades spatulate to oblanceolate-spatulate, 10–50 × 4–12 mm, cauline abruptly reduced distally, margins entire (apices rounded), faces sparsely hirsute or glabrous, eglandular. |
basal (persistent) and cauline (petioles 1/2–2/3 lengths of blades); basal (greenish) blades spatulate, 10–60 × 3–10 mm, margins entire, faces sparsely strigose, eglandular; cauline (restricted to proximal 1/2 of stems) blades lanceolate to elliptic (bases subclasping). |

in 2–3(–4) series (purplish throughout or at margins and tips), hirsute to hirsuto-villous (hair cross walls clear or reddish to reddish purple), minutely glandular. |
in 3–4 series (erect, apices appressed), margins ciliate, midveins sparsely hirsute (hair cross walls not colored), densely minutely glandular. |

Erigeron flettii differs from E. grandiflorus in having fewer, wider, consistently white rays, broadly spatulate basal leaves with bases constricted into narrow petioles longer than the blades and apices rounded or obtuse, less dense involucral vestiture, and strongly barbellate pappus bristles. It is known only from the Olympic Mountains. (Discussion copyrighted by Flora of North America; reprinted with permission.) |
