Erigeron philadelphicus
is a perennial herb native to North America that widely
occurs in the wild in Japan. Stems are hollow, rising to
0.3-1m in height; the whole is covered with vellus
hairs. Radical leaves are still alive in flowering time,
and the lower part of the on-stem leaves is long,
oblong, or spatulate, with winged petioles. Bases of
on-stem leaves expand sideways like ear lobes to embrace
the stems. Flower heads are 2-2.5cm across, with many
white to light purple ray florets. Bloom time: May-July. |
