Erigeron aliceae is a species of flowering plant in the daisy family known by the common name Alice Eastwood's fleabane, or simply Alice's fleabane. It was named for the botanist Alice Eastwood.
This is a daisylike perennial native to the meadows and woodlands of the Pacific Northwest. It has branching stems reaching one half to one meter in height, with hairy, rounded basal leaves and a few lance-shaped leaves along the narrow, hairy stems. The inflorescence at the top of each erect stem holds one to seven flower heads, each one to two centimeters wide. The center is made up of many yellow disc florets and the corolla is fringed with up to 80 narrow ray florets in white to shades of light purple and blue.
