Erigeron uncialis is a North American species of flowering plant in the daisy family known by the common name Lone fleabane.[1] It is native to the western United States, in the States of Nevada and California.[2][3]
Erigeron uncialis grows on cliff faces, usually limestone, often alongside various conifer trees. It is a clump-forming perennial herb rarely more than 7 centimeters (2.8 inches) tall, producing a taproot and a woody underground caudex. The inflorescence is made up of only one flower heads per stem. Each head contains 22–30 white or pink ray florets surrounding numerous yellow disc florets.[1]
