Erigeron parryi is a species of flowering plant in the daisy family known by the common name Parry’s fleabane.[1] It is native to the Rocky Mountains of southern Montana and northern Wyoming.[1][2]
Erigeron parryi is a small perennial herb rarely more than 15 centimeters (6 inches) tall, producing a woody taproot. The leaves are covered with wool. The plant generally produces only 1 flower head per stem, though occasionally 2 or 3. Each head has 20–40, pink, or blue ray florets surrounding numerous yellow disc florets. The plant grows on rocky limestone slopes, frequently alongside sagebrush.[1][3]
