Symphyotrichum shortii, commonly called Short's aster,[1] is a species of flowering plant in the aster family (Asteraceae). It is native to North America, where it is primarily found in interior areas, east of the Mississippi River.[2] Its natural habitat is in thin, rocky soils of woodlands and thickets, often around limestone bluffs.[3][4] It is common throughout much of its range, although it is generally restricted to intact natural communities.[3]
Symphyotrichum shortii is an herbaceous perennial, growing up to 3½ feet. It produces heads of flowers with purple rays in late summer and fall. Unlike many related Symphyotrichum, its stem leaves are essentially entire, and do not have a winged petiole. It bears a resemblance to the related Symphyotrichum oolentangiense of farther west, from which S. shortii can be distinguished by its cordate stem leaves and glabrous phyllaries.[5]
The taxonomy of Symphyotrichum remains poorly understood, with the relationships between the taxa unclear.[6]
