Porsild's arctic fleabane
|
Perennials, (3–)6–12 cm; taprooted, caudices usually branched. |
Perennials, (2–)10–20(–25) cm; rhizomatous, fibrous-rooted, rhizomes horizontal or erect, sometimes branched, relatively short, sometimes resembling taproots. |
erect (distinctly white in proximal portions), usually strigose at least on distal 1/2, sometimes strigoso-hirsute or mixed-hispid, minutely glandular. |
erect, sparsely to moderately villous (hairs 0.5–1.6 mm), usually stipitate-glandular (hairs 0.05–0.4 mm). |
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 (persistent) and cauline; basal blades oblong-oblanceolate to narrowly obovate, 30–120 × (3–)5–14 mm, margins entire (apices acute), faces densely hirsute to coarsely villous, sparsely stipitate-glandular to minutely glandular; cauline blades oblong-lanceolate to lanceolate, gradually reduced distally or nearly equal-sized (bases often subclasping). |
3.5–4 × 5–10 mm. |
6–10 × 12–20 mm. |
25–40; corollas yellow, drying dark yellow (sometimes fading on drying and appearing whitish or creamy), 4–9 mm, laminae coiling. |
65–110; corollas white to lavender or blue, 13–17 mm (1.2–1.7 mm wide), laminae weakly coiling. |
2.5–3 mm. |
3.8–4.5 mm. |
in 2–3 series, hirsuto-villous, sometimes minutely glandular. |
in ca. 2 series (purple at least at tips, narrowly lanceolate, equal, apically acuminate), densely hirsute, hirsuto-villous, or villous (hairs whitish, cross walls not colored), sparsely stipitate-glandular to minutely glandular. |

Erigeron hultenii S. A. Spongberg was noted to be “closely allied to the polymorphic arctic-alpine species E. grandiflorus W. J. Hooker” (S. A. Spongberg 1973, p. 116) and to have a “close morphologic resemblance to some plants of E. grandiflorus from Alaska” [E. porsildii in the present sense] (p. 119). Plants corresponding to E. hultenii have not been recollected, and that taxon does not fit with any other known Alaskan species. Contrasts with E. porsildii exclude it from that species. Erigeron hultenii is not recognized formally herein. (Discussion copyrighted by Flora of North America; reprinted with permission.) |
