Erigeron pringlei is a North American species of flowering plant in the daisy family known by the common name Pringle’s fleabane.[1] It has been found in only in the state of Arizona in the southwestern United States.[2]

Erigeron pringlei is a perennial herb up to 16 centimeters (6.4 inches) tall, producing a thick underground woody caudex. The plant generally produces only 1 flower head per stem but sometimes 2 or 3. Each head has 20–35 pink or white ray florets surrounding numerous yellow disc florets. The species grows on ledges and in cracks in cliff faces.[1]
