此种与星舌紫菀 (Aster asteroides (DC.) O. Ktze.) 显然接近，曾被视为该种的亚种，但头状花序及总苞常较大，总苞片较宽，管状花上部紫褐色，有或无短腺毛，冠毛浅红褐色或污白色。有一变型 f. polianthus Ling, f. nov. 管状花花冠裂片被白色长节毛，产于西藏东部（波密）。生于高山草甸上，海拔4200米。

Capitula terminal, solitary. Involucres hemispheric, 6-7 mm in diam.; phyllaries 2- or 3-seriate, subequal, oblong to lanceolate or linear-lanceolate, 8-12 × 1.5-3 mm, abaxially densely purple villous proximally to sparsely so distally, sparsely proximally to densely distally minutely purplish stipitate glandular, membranous, margin narrowly scarious, purple apically, purple villous-ciliate, purple minutely stipitate glandular, multiveined, apex acute to acuminate, tip twisted, purple. Ray florets 12-55, bluish to lavender-purple, lamina 11-21 × 1.5-3 mm, glabrous, eglandular; disk florets yellow, sometimes purplish brown distally, 4-5 mm, tube 1-1.5 mm, glabrate, limb funnelform, 3.5-4 mm, lobes erect, triangular, 0.5-1 mm, glabrous, sparsely minutely stipitate glandular. Achenes (immature) narrowly obovoid, ca. 3 mm, sparsely strigillose, eglandular, 2-ribbed. Pappus (immature) 2-seriate, straw-colored; outermost series of few broad scales ca. 1 mm; inner series of sometimes purplish, barbellate bristles 3.5-4 mm. Fl. and fr. Jun-Aug.

Aster likiangensis is closely related to A. asteroides and has been regarded as a subspecies of it by Grierson (Notes Roy. Bot. Gard. Edinburgh 26: 67-163. 1964). It is distinguished by the purple disk floret lobes that are stipitate glandular.
