Erigeron chrysopsidis is a North American species of flowering plants in the daisy family known by the common name dwarf yellow fleabane. It is found in the western United States: southeastern Washington, Oregon, extreme northern California, northern Nevada, Idaho.[2][3]


Erigeron chrysopsidis is a very small perennial herb up to 15 cm (8 inches) tall, forming a taproot. Most of the leaves are low and close to the ground. Each stem produces only one flower head, with 20-60 yellow ray florets plus numerous yellow disc florets.[4]
