Erigeron elatior is a North American species of flowering plants in the daisy family known by the common name tall fleabane.[1]

Erigeron elatior is native to the western United States, in the States of New Mexico, Colorado, Utah, and Wyoming.[4] It grows in subalpine brush, mountain meadows, and openings in coniferous forests.[1]
