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 nummulare occurs primarily in the Intermountain West from Inyo, Lassen, and Mono counties in California eastward across central and southern Nevada to western and southern Utah. It is found also in northern Mohave and northwestern Coconino counties in Arizona. This species is the food plant of the pallid dotted-blue butterfly (Euphilotes pallescens pallescens) and the Sand Mountain blue butterfly (Euphilotes pallescens arenamontana) is an unprotected subspecies restricted to Sand Mountain in Churchill County, Nevada, where its host plant, Eriogonum nummulare, currently is subject to continued destruction due to unrestricted off-road vehicle activities.
