Erigeron vetensis is a North American species of flowering plant in the daisy family known by the common name early blue-top fleabane.[2] It is native to the western United States (primarily in the Rocky Mountains of Wyoming, Colorado, and New Mexico but with an isolated population in Nebraska).[3]
