Taxonomic Comments

The Flora of North America (vol. 20, 2006) narrows the concept of Symphyotrichum ciliolatum by including Aster x maccallae in S. subspicatum. Kartesz (1999) included A. x maccallae in S. ciliolatum. Kartesz had previously (1994) treated A. x maccallae as A. ciliolatus var. maccallii.
