Erigeron tweedyi is a North American species of flowering plant in the daisy family known by the common name Tweedy's fleabane.[1] It is native to the northern Rocky Mountains in the US states of Montana, Idaho, and Wyoming.[2]
Erigeron tweedyi grows on talus and rocky slopes at high elevations. It is a perennial herb up to 20 centimeters (8 inches) tall, producing a taproot and a branching underground caudex. Leaves are covered with grayish-white hairs. The inflorescence is made up of 1-4 flower heads per stem. Each head contains 20–50 white, blue, or purple ray florets surrounding numerous yellow disc florets.[1]
