"erigeron abajoensis" is a short (5 to 25 cm or 2-10 inches tall) perennial plant. the leaves are narrowly oblanceolate (i.e. with a broad-rounded apex and a tapering base), set with stiff, straight bristles and located at the base of the stem. the flower heads are sometimes produced one at a time, sometimes in groups of 3 or 4. each head contains as many as 60 blue or pink or white ray florets and many yellow disc florets, all produced in the summer.
