Erigeron eximius is a North American species of flowering plants in the family Asteraceae known by the common name spruce-fir fleabane.[2]

Erigeron eximius is native to the western United States. It is found in alpine meadows and in openings in aspen and spruce/fir forests in Wyoming, Colorado, Utah, Arizona, New Mexico, and western Texas.[3]

Erigeron eximius is a perennial herb up to 60 centimeters (2 feet) in height, spreading by means of underground rhizomes. Each stem can produce 1-15 flower heads, each with as many as 80 blue or lavender ray florets surrounding numerous yellow disc florets.[2]
