# Symphyotrichum undulatum

Symphyotrichum undulatum (formerly Aster undulatus) is a species of flowering plant in the family Asteraceae native to eastern North America. Its common name is wavyleaf aster, and it is a perennial, herbaceous plant that flowers August through October and may reach heights between 30 and 160 centimeters (1 and 5 feet).

## Description

Symphyotrichum undulatum is a perennial, herbaceous plant that flowers from August through October, growing to heights between 30 and 160 centimeters (1 and 5 feet) from a cespitose rootstock. The roots can have short rhizomes or branched and woody caudices.

### Flowers

There are 12–16, sometimes up to 25, blue to purple or sometimes lilac ray florets of lengths 6–12 millimeters and widths of 1.4–2.5 mm. These surround 15–22, sometimes up to 25, cream or light yellow disk florets of depths 4–5.8 mm with lanceolate lobes of lengths 0.5–0.9 mm. As the disk florets age, they become purple.

### Fruit

The fruits (seeds) of Symphyotrichum undulatum are not true achenes but are cypselae, resembling an achene but surrounded by a calyx sheath. This is true for all members of the Asteraceae family. After pollination, the seeds of S. undulatum become dull purple to light brown or tan with an oblong-obovoid compressed shape, 1.7–2.2 mm in length with 3–4 nerves, and with a few stiff, slender bristles on the surface (strigillose). They also have tufts of hairs (pappi) which are cream or rose-tinged and 3.5–5 mm in length.

### Chromosomes

The species has a monoploid number (also called base number) of eight chromosomes (x = 8). Individual plants with 16 and 32 sets of its chromosomes have been found, meaning the species is diploid and tetraploid.

## Distribution and habitat

Symphyotrichum undulatum is native to the Canadian provinces of Nova Scotia and Ontario; and, the U.S. states of Alabama, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Mississippi, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Tennessee, Vermont, Virginia, and West Virginia, as well as in the District of Columbia.
It can be found at elevations between 200 and 1,500 meters (660 and 4,920 feet) in rocky or loamy soils, on sandhills, or on limestone- or sandstone-based bluffs.

## Conservation

As of October 2022, NatureServe listed S. undulatum as Secure (G5) globally; Secure (S5) in New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, and West Virginia; Apparently Secure (S4) in Virginia; Vulnerable (S3) in Indiana and Nova Scotia; and, Critically Imperiled (S1) in Illinois. The species' global status was last reviewed on 25 July 2016.

# Alsta

Alsta is an island in Alstahaug Municipality and Leirfjord Municipality in Nordland county, Norway. The island is surrounded by the Vefsnfjorden to the east, the Leirfjorden to the north, and the Alstenfjorden to the south and west. The eastern part of the island is dominated by the Seven Sisters mountain range (Norwegian: De syv søstre) which has five mountains that are more than 1,000 metres (3,300 ft) tall, while the western part of the island is relatively flat and it is the location of the town of Sandnessjøen and the village of Søvika in the south. Historically, the island was known as Alsten or Alstein.
The 30-kilometre (19 mi) long island has an area of 152.6 square kilometres (58.9 sq mi), and its highest point is the mountain Botnkrona, which reaches 1,072 metres (3,517 ft) above sea level. In 2017, there were 6,969 residents on the island. The islands of Altra and Skålværet lie to the southwest, the islands of Tjøtta, Offersøya, Mindlandet, and Rødøya lie to the south, surrounding the entrance to the Vefsnfjorden.
The island is connected to the mainland by the Helgeland Bridge on Norwegian County Road 17, which connects the northern part of the island to Leirfjord Municipality on the mainland. This same highway 17 continues across the island from north to south where it then connects by bridge to the nearby islands of Offersøya and Tjøtta.
The eastern part of the island is often called the "backside" of the island since it is on the other side of the mountains from the more populous side. This "backside" lies inside Leirfjord Municipality and the Sundøy Bridge connects the Sundøya village area on the backside of the island to the mainland.
