Erigeron salishii is a North American species of flowering plant in the daisy family known by the common names Salish fleabane[1] and Star Peak fleabane.[2] It grows in the Coast Ranges of British Columbia and Washington State.[3]

Erigeron salishii grows cliffs, ledges, and gravelly slopes. It is a tiny perennial rarely more than 7 centimeters (2.8 inches) tall, with many stems crowded together into a compact clump. The inflorescence generally contains only 1 flower head per stem. Each head contains 15–32 blue, or white ray florets surrounding many yellow disc florets.[1][4]
