Symphyotrichum eulae (Shinners) Nesom. Common name: Eula's Aster. Phenology: Oct-Nov. Habitat: River bottoms, ditches, usually on heavy clay soils. Distribution: Endemic to nc. TX south to e., se., and sc. TX.

Origin/Endemic status: Endemic

Taxonomy Comments: "This combines some of the characteristics of A. praealtus var. texicola and A. lateriflorus var. flagellaris, and the origin is thereby suggested; but A. Eulae seems to be a fairly stable, discrete entity, as Aster species go, and regardless of its possible origin should be recognized by a separate name" (Correll & Johnston 1970).
