Erigeron breviscapus is a Chinese species of flowering plants in the daisy family. It has been found only in China, in the provinces of Guangxi, Guizhou, Hunan, Sichuan, Tibet, and Yunnan.[2]

Erigeron breviscapus is a perennial, clump-forming herb up to 50 cm (20 inches) tall, though in some cases less than 1 cm (0.4 inches) tall. Its flower heads have blue, purple, or white ray florets surrounding yellow disc florets.[2]

Erigaron is also an old TCM medicine with proven benefits for damage caused by ischemia (stroke) and other arterial problems and is highly beneficial to the endothelial lining of arteries, and is also neuroprotective.
