Comments In general, the Estuary's Symphotrichum plants have characteristics of S. eatonii. However, a conservative name could be S. subspicatum, if one follows the FNA in the latter being a highly polypoid species derived from species that can include S. eatonii, because this would allow for the variations (eg. here the leaf shape).
