This is a species of fleabane. The leaves and flowers in medical properties much resemble the erigeron philadelphicum. They are valuable, says Dr. F. G. Hoener, for coughs, colds, sores in the mouth or on the tongue or tonsils. They may also be used as a gargle for the throat, and as a wash for foul ulcers, sores and old wounds, also as an injection for gonorrhoea in severe cases, and gleet.
