Erigeron flettii is endemic to the Olympic Peninsula in the State of Washington. Many of the populations lie inside Olympic National Park.[2][3]
Erigeron flettii is a small perennial herb up to 15 centimeters (8 inches) in height. Most of the leaves are clustered around the base of the stems. They are lance-shaped, dark green on most of the blade but with white along the edge. The plant generally produces only 1 flower head per stem, each head as many as 40 white ray florets surrounding numerous yellow disc florets.[1]
