It has been found only in northern Arizona, in Yavapai and Coconino Counties north of the Mogollon Rim. Erigeron saxatilis grows on ledges and cracks in the walls of canyons. It is a very small perennial herb rarely more than 5 cm (2 inches) tall, forming a woody underground caudex. The inflorescence generally contains only 1 flower head per stem.
