Erigeron piscaticus is a rare species of flowering plant in the aster family known by the common name Fish Creek fleabane. It is endemic to Arizona in the United States, where it is known from three locations in Maricopa and Graham Counties.[1]
This annual herb produces hairy, glandular stems up to 40 centimeters tall from a taproot. The oval leaves are 1 or 2 centimeters long and mostly smooth-edged. The flower heads are lined with hairy, glandular phyllaries and contain many white ray florets each around 3 millimeters long.[2]
This plant grows on river terraces and washes.[1][2]
