"Erigeron parishii" is a species of flowering plant in the daisy family known by the common name Parish's fleabane. This wildflower is endemic to San Bernardino County, California, where it is a federally-listed threatened species losing habitat to development and the limestone mining industry on the north slope of the San Bernardino Mountains. This is a small perennial daisy reaching a maximum height of about 30 centimeters. Its stem and foliage are covered in silvery-white hairs and most of the leaves are basal and measure 3 to 6 centimeters long. The erect stems have inflorescences of one to ten flower heads, each between one and two centimeters wide. The head has a center of golden yellow disc florets and a fringe of up to 55 lavender, pink, or white ray florets.
