Commonly known as pineland aster, it is a perennial, herbaceous plant that may reach 50 centimeters (20 inches) high. Each flower head has many tiny florets put together into what appear as one. Symphyotrichum lucayanum has purple ray florets.[3]

The holotype for the basionym Aster lucayanus was collected 5 February 1905 at Eight Mile Rock[4] which is roughly at coordinates 26.5462°N 78.8087°W / 26.5462; -78.8087.[lower-alpha 1] The holotype is stored in the New York Botanical Garden Steere Herbarium, and a high-definition image of it can be found online.[5]
