Description


Symphyotrichum eatonii is a perennial herb growing 40–100 centimeters (1 foot 4 inches – 3 feet 3 inches) from a short rhizome. The thin leaves are up to 20 centimeters (8 inches) long, lance-shaped, and pointed at the tips. Some of the leaves and the upper parts of the stem are hairy.[4]

The inflorescence holds several flower heads containing many white to pink ray florets around a center of yellow disk florets. The fruit is a hairy cypsela that resembles an achene.[4]


Taxonomy


Symphyotrichum eatonii is classified in the subgenus Symphyotrichum, section Occidentales.[4] As of June 2021, Catalogue of Life, Flora of North America, and Jepson eFlora accepted this species as Symphyotrichum bracteolatum,[5][4][6] while POWO, NatureServe, and Canadian botanist John C. Semple circumscribed to S. eatonii.[2][1][7]
