Erigeron barbellulatus, commonly known as shining fleabane, is a species of fleabane in the family Asteraceae.[1]
The small plant is endemic to northeastern California, in the Sierra Nevada, from Lassen County south to Tulare County.[2] It is found on gravelly and rocky slopes, at elevations of 2100m-3300mm (6,900feet-10,800feetm), from sagebrush/pine to Sierra Nevada subalpine zone forest habitats.[1]
Erigeron barbellulatus is a small perennial herb up to 15 cm (6 inches) tall.[1]
One plant usually produces only one flower head, with 15–35 white, lavender, or blue ray florets surrounding numerous small disc florets.[3] [4]
