|discussion=<p>Collections of <i>Erigeron radicatus</i> often have been identified as <i>E. ochroleucus</i> <i></i></i>var.<i><i> scribneri</i>; <i>E. radicatus</i> is distinctive in its branched caudex, villous cauline vestiture, more reduced leaf vestiture, involucral vestiture of hairs with purple cross walls, shorter disc corollas, and relatively few, readily falling pappus bristles. <i>Erigeron radicatus</i> often is essentially scapiform at relatively high elevation (2700–3400 m) in Idaho, Montana, Utah, and Wyoming; more eastern populations in the Great Plains, at lower elevations (1400–2600 m), have leafier stems but are hardly different in other features. Plants of some populations in Albany and Carbon counties, Wyoming, produce atypically shorter rays.</p>
