Symphyotrichum (Aster) ascendens (3305168379)

Description:

Description: The leaves of Aster ascendens (uppermost) and Solidago missouriensis (the lower two) are very similar. The main longitudinal veins on either side of the mid vein in Aster are not as straight and the network of veins forms a net with larger reticulations compared to those of Solidago. Aster ascendens is more likely to be found in disturbed settings (e.g., trail side) compared to Solidago, which is common among the sagebrush and undisturbed vegetation. Date: 17 August 2005, 12:22.
