Erigeron cervinus is a North American species of flowering plant in the daisy family known by the common names Siskiyou fleabane[2] and Siskiyou fleabane daisy.[3]

Erigeron cervinus is native to the Klamath Mountains of northwestern California and southwestern Oregon.[3] This uncommon wildflower is a perennial herb reaching heights of 15 to 30 centimeters (8-12 inches). Its leaves may be up to 12 centimeters (5 inches) long and are vaguely spoon-shaped. The erect stems hold inflorescences of 1 to 4 flower heads. Each head is about a centimeter (0.4 inches) wide and has a center of golden yellow disc florets surrounded by a fringe of ray florets which are usually white.[2][4]
