Erigeron asperugineus, the Idaho fleabane, is a species of flowering plant in the family Asteraceae. It is native to the Western United States, particularly the states of Montana, Idaho, Utah, and Nevada.[2]
Erigeron asperugineus is a small perennial herb up to 20 cm (8 inches) tall, the stems mostly leafless and often lying flat.[3] The basal leaves have short hair with meandering margins and are wider towards the tip.[3] One plant usually produces 1 or 2 flower heads, each with 10–25 blue, pink, or purple ray florets about 1 centimetre (1⁄2 in) in length and surrounding many yellow disc florets.[4][3]
