| Perennials, 10–22(–27) cm, tap-rooted, caudices usually simple, rarely with branches to 20 cm. |
Perennials, 5–20 cm; rhizomatous, fibrous-rooted, forming diffuse systems of slender, rhizomelike caudex branches. |
ascending to decumbent-ascending (usually basally purplish), sparsely to densely strigose (basal cells inclined, hairs even-width), eglandular. |
ascending (bases usually purplish), glabrous or sparsely strigose (or hairs loosely spreading), eglandular. |
basal (persistent) and cauline; blades (strongly to weakly 3-nerved) oblanceolate to spatulate-oblanceolate, 30–100 × (3–)5–12(–14) mm, cauline gradually reduced distally or not, usually continuing to near heads, margins entire, faces hirsuto-pilose to weakly pilose, eglandular. |
basal (persistent) and cauline; basal (purplish) and proximal cauline blades oblanceolate to oblong, 20–40(–90) × 1–3(–5) mm, cauline reduced distally, margins entire, glabrous or sparsely strigose (or hairs loosely spreading), eglandular. |
(5–)6–7 × 9–12(–14) mm. |
5–7.5 × 10–15 mm. |
(16–)21–33; corollas white to pinkish or purplish, 10–12 mm, laminae not (or weakly) coiling or reflexing. |

3.2–3.8 mm. |
4.1–5.6 mm. |
in 2–3(–4) series, (elliptic- to oblong-oblanceolate, abruptly acuminate), hirsuto-strigose to -pilose, densely villous at bases, usually eglandular, sometimes sparsely glandular. |
in 2–3(–4) series (margins and tips often purplish, loose, linear-lanceolate, apices spreading), sparsely strigoso-hirsute to strigose (hairs appressed or slightly loose), sometimes minutely glandular. |
1(–4) (on peduncles 0.5–5 cm), held well beyond leaves at peak flowering, from branches near midstem (or slightly more distal). |

Erigeron gracilis “differs from E. ursinus in the strigose and scarcely glandular pubescence of the involucre, narrower and less herbaceous phyllaries, narrower and on the average longer disc-corollas, simple or nearly simple pappus, narrower ligules, on the average, and ordinarily narrower and slightly hairier leaves. E. gracilis grows at lower elevations than E. ursinus, in a drier habitat, and has a much more restricted range” (A. Cronquist 1947, p. 162). The two species are sympatric in northwestern Wyoming.
