Erigeron subglaber is a rare North American species of flowering plants in the daisy family known by the common name hairless fleabane..[1] It has been found in the southern Rocky Mountains in the north-central part of the US State of New Mexico.[2]

Erigeron subglaber grows in meadows in subalpine conifer forests, as well as on ridges and mountain peaks at high elevations. It is a very small perennial herb rarely more than 7 cm (2.8 inches) tall, producing a taproot and a woody caudex. The inflorescence generally contains only one flower heads per stem. Each head contains 25–35 purple or lavender ray florets surrounding many yellow disc florets.[1]
