Erigeron alpiniformis is a rare Arctic species of flowering plants in the family Asteraceae, and one of several plants known by the common name alpine fleabane.[3] It has been found only in Greenland (Kalaallit Nunaat, part of Denmark ) and in Labrador and Nunavut in Canada .[4][5]
Erigeron alpiniformis is a short, branching shrub rarely more than 20 cm (8 inches) tall. The inflorescence generally consists of 1 or 2, rarely 3 or 4 flower heads, each head with many small yellow disc florets and surrounded by a ring of 100–200 white or pinkish-purple ray florets.[6]
