Symphyotrichum lucayanum (formerly Aster lucayanus) is a species of flowering plant of the aster family (Asteraceae) endemic to the North American island of Grand Bahama.[3]
It has a common name of pineland aster, and it is a perennial, herbaceous plant that may reach 50 centimeters (20 inches) in height. S. lucayanum has purple ray florets.[3]
The holotype for the basionym Aster lucayanus was collected 5 February 1905 at Eight Mile Rock[4] which is roughly at coordinates [ ⚑ ] 26°32′46″N 78°48′31″W / 26.5462°N 78.8087°W.[lower-alpha 1] The holotype is stored in the New York Botanical Garden Steere Herbarium, and a high-definition image of it can be found online.[5]
