Erigeron consimilis is a North American species of flowering plants in the family Asteraceae known by the common names foothill fleabane[2] and San Rafael fleabane. It is found in the western United States: Arizona, New Mexico, Utah, Colorado, Wyoming.[3]

Erigeron consimilis is a very small perennial herb up to 10 cm (4 inches) tall, forming a taproot. Most of the leaves are low and close to the ground. Each stem produces only one flower head, with 30–55 white or pink ray florets plus numerous yellow disc florets.[4]
