|discussion=<p><i>Symphyotrichum ciliolatum</i> sporadically hybridizes with <i>S. laeve </i>var.<i> laeve</i> or <i></i></i>var.<i><i> geyeri</i> in their areas of overlap, notably across the Canadian prairies and in south-central Ontario (Manitoulin Island, Bruce Peninsula). It also hybridizes with <i>S. novi-belgii</i> var. novi-belgii in the Gulf of St. Lawrence area [<i>Symphyotrichum</i> ×subgeminatum (Fernald) G. L. Nesom; syn. <i>Aster</i> subgeminatus (Fernald) B. Boivin]. <i>Aster</i> ciliolatus forma comatus Fernald is densely ciliolate along the midnerves and represents an extreme of the variation found in the species.</p>
