text: By comparison with other white asters having a generally similar leaf shape, Calico Aster (Symphyotrichum lateriflorum) and Awl Aster (S. pilosum) may have similar branching, but Calico Aster flowers have only 9 to 15 rays and a pale disk (not bright yellow), leaves with hairs only along the midvein, and can be clump forming but does not create colonies as Ontario Aster does; Awl Aster flowers are ½ inch or larger, flower stalks may be an inch or more long, phyllaries and bracts have a minute spine at the tip, and stem and leaf hairs are longer.
