Erigeron lobatus is a branching annual herb up to 50 centimeters (20 inches) tall, producing a taproot. The leaves are up to 10 cm (4 inches) long, with pinnatifid or bipinnatifid lobes. The plant produces 1-5 flower heads per stem, each head with up to 110 white ray florets surrounding numerous yellow disc florets. The species grows in desert regions, often alongside creosotebush.[2][3]
