I am at a loss on this 1. Of course it's an aster. So I don't feel too bad. Here are some pictures and some information:
This plant was located in sandy soil along the edge of a parking lot...... Definitely a disturbed soil. Plant was up to 20" with alternate leaves that seem reduced in size. Leaves to maybe 1" long and less than 1/4" wide with appressed "hairs" to possibly glaucus in color. Bracts hairy but not bristly.
