Dwarf yellow fleabane (Erigeron chrysopsidis)

Abstract

Dwarf yellow fleabane frequently occurs in Washington, Oregon, California, Idaho, and Nevada (Fig. 1; Nesom 1992a, 2006). Variety austiniae is the most widely distributed, occurring in southeastern Oregon, northeastern California, southwestern Idaho, and in Elko, Eureka, Humbolt, and Washoe counties in Nevada (Nesom 1992b). Variety chrysopsidis occurs at mid- to low-elevation sites from southeastern Washington to southeastern Oregon (Nesom 1992a; Hitchcock and Cronquist 2018). Variety brevifolius is restricted to upper elevation sites in the Wallowa Mountains in the northeastern corner of Oregon (Nesom 1992a, 2006). Because of its limited distribution, variety brevifolius is considered a conservation concern (Nesom 2006).
