Erigeron divergens is a species of flowering plant in the family Asteraceae known by the common name spreading fleabane.

[3] The heads have 75 to 150 ray florets not more than 1 cm long which are white in color, fading purple, and sometimes absent.

[3] This plant can be found in the western half of the United States (as far east as western Texas),[3] the Canadian provinces of British Columbia and Alberta, and the Mexican states of Baja California, Chihuahua, Durango, Nuevo León,[5] and Sonora.

[6][7] It occurs in many types of habitat, including desert shrublands and scrubs, grassland, meadows, pinyon–juniper woodland, oak and pine woodlands, riparian habitat, sagebrush, and disturbed areas.

The Navajo used it as an aid in childbirth, as a lotion, an eyewash, and a treatment for snakebite and headache.
