Erigeron arenarioides is a species of flowering plant in the (daisy family) known by the common names sand fleabane[2] and Wasatch fleabane. It has been found only in the northern part of the state of Utah in the western United States.[3]
Erigeron arenarioides is a perennial up to 30 cm (1 foot) tall. It usually has several flower heads, each with 10–25 blue ray florets surrounding a disc with many small yellow disc florets.[4] The Latin epithet arenarioides means "sandwort-like," referring to its narrow leaves.
