Varieties 2 (2 in the flora). The mature reddish roots of Eriogonum alatum can be distinctively chambered. The Navajo (Diné) people consider the species to be a “life medicine” (L. C. Wyman and S. K. Harris 1951), using a mixture of shredded roots and water primarily to treat internal ailments. The species is used also as a ceremonial medicine (P. A. Vestal 1952). The Zuni use it as an emetic for stomachaches (S. Camazine and R. A. Bye 1980). (Discussion copyrighted by Flora of North America; reprinted with permission.) |
Eriogonum hieracifolium is widely scattered from east-central Arizona (Apache, Gila, Graham, and Navajo counties) and adjacent west-central and southern New Mexico (Bernalillo, Catron, Dona Ana, Eddy, Grant, Lincoln, Otero, and Sierra counties) into Texas (Brewster, Culberson, Jeff Davis, Pecos, and Presidio counties). The species occurs in northeastern Chihuahua, Mexico, as well. Similar plants found near La Linda in Coahuila appear to represent a different taxon, as their vegetative structures are tomentose rather than strigose.
