Geiser's fleabane
|
Perennials, (3–)6–12 cm; taprooted, caudices usually branched. |
Annuals, 5–40 cm; slenderly taprooted, caudices simple. |
erect (distinctly white in proximal portions), usually strigose at least on distal 1/2, sometimes strigoso-hirsute or mixed-hispid, minutely glandular. |
erect (herbaceous), sparsely spreading- to deflexed-villous proximally, sparsely strigose (hairs straight) distally, eglandular. |
mostly cauline (proximal internodes elongate; petioles prominently ciliate, hairs spreading, thick-based); blades linear to linear-oblanceolate, 20–40 × 1–1.5 mm (on proximal 1/2–2/3 of stems), (bases relatively thin, not sheathing) margins entire, hispido-ciliate, faces strigose. |
basal (usually not persistent) and cauline; basal blades oblanceolate to subspatulate, 15–60 × 4–11 mm; cauline gradually reduced distally (sometimes barely subclasping), margins entire or with 2–4 pairs of teeth or lobes, faces hirsute, eglandular. |
3.5–4 × 5–10 mm. |
2.5–3.5 × 5–7 mm. |
25–40; corollas yellow, drying dark yellow (sometimes fading on drying and appearing whitish or creamy), 4–9 mm, laminae coiling. |
44–70; corollas white, drying white to pink, 3–6 mm, laminae not coiling or reflexing. |
2.5–3 mm. |
1.2–1.6 mm (throats slightly indurate and inflated). |
in 2–3 series, hirsuto-villous, sometimes minutely glandular. |
in 2–3 series, sparsely hirsute, sometimes minutely glandular. |

1–20 in diffuse arrays (branches from midstem distally, peduncles often dilated near heads). |

0.7–0.9 mm, 2-nerved, faces sparsely strigose; pappi: outer of scales, inner of 9–11 bristles. |

Erigeron geiseri is characterized by its annual duration and slender taproots, relatively small size, lobed basal leaves, peduncles often dilated near the heads, obovate phyllaries with broad, scarious margins, and relatively small disc florets and cypselae, the latter with pappi of conspicuous scales and relatively few bristles.
