For the time being, we keep E. sumatrensis and E. floribunda as different taxa.Nesom 2008 hints that these 2 are the same: “Erigeron sumatrensis Retz. (if distinct from E. floribundus) = Conyza sumatrensis (Retz.) E. Walker) “ Nesom, G.L. 2008: Classification of subtribe Conyzinae (Asteraceae: Astereae). Lundellia 11: 8–38. https://w3.biosci.utexas.edu/prc/pdfs/Nesom-Lundellia11.pdf Erigeron floribunda has been frequently misapplied to Erigeron sumatrensis (see http://portal.cybertaxonomy.org/euromed/cdm_dataportal/taxon/31dbf0d2-0a33-4534-a3d3-be956773b572/synonymy?highlite=8effde61-ab86-43f6-8aaf-5a366e860a13) Erigeron sumatrensis is the older name.
