Symphyotrichum eulae (formerly Aster eulae) is a species of flowering plant in the family Asteraceae endemic to Texas. Commonly known as Eula's aster, it is a perennial, herbaceous plant that may reach 5 to 150 centimeters (2 to 59 inches) in height. Its flowers have usually white to bluish or lavender-white ray florets and yellow then reddish to brown disk florets.[4] It was named for Eula Whitehouse, American botanist, botanical illustrator, and plant collector.[5]
