Order Asterales, Family Asteraceae, Genus Symphyotrichum
Once called Virgulus campestris, this plant joins other "Asters" in reclassification. At this time, there is only one very high altitude Aster, Aster alpinus, in North America, all the others being Eurasian plants. Go to these sites for more information: Please visit Wikipedia for this species, and Southwest Colorado Wildflowers, where you need to scroll down for S. fulcatum.
