Aster formosanus is a species of flowering plant in the family Asteraceae, native to Taiwan, and Zhejiang, China. [1] An uncommon perennial reaching 80 cm (31 in), it is found in well-lit situations in mixed deciduous/coniferous forests at elevations from 1,400 to 2,700 m (4,600 to 8,900 ft). [2] Preferring sandy, damp soils, it appears to be somewhat of a specialist on paths and roadsides. [2] [3]
