Summary In all treatments of western North American taxa of Aster subsequent to Greene's description of Aster adsurgens in Pittonia 4: 216‐217, 1900, this species was placed in the section Multiflori as a close ally to or a synonym of A. commutatus (T. 8c G.) A. Gray (= A. falcatus commutatus). Examination of the type material reveals that the name does not apply to a taxon of the section Multiflori at all, and a comparison with the corresponding type specimen (Drummond 580 , K!) clearly places A. adsurgens in synonymy under A. ascendens Lindley in Hooker (1834).
