Of conservation concern. Eriogonum arborescens is local and occasionally rare on Santa Cruz, Santa Rosa, and Anacapa islands in Santa Cruz and Ventura counties. The species is cultivated, and populations have become naturalized on the mainland from San Mateo County south to San Diego, in large part because of planting along highways. Every effort should be made to remove these naturalized populations from the mainland. (Discussion copyrighted by Flora of North America; reprinted with permission.) |
Eriogonum wetherillii is a species of the Colorado Plateau in northern Arizona (Apache, Coconino, and Navajo counties), southwestern Colorado (Montezuma County), northwestern New Mexico (San Juan County), and southeastern Utah (Emery, Garfield, Grand, Kane, San Juan, eastern Sevier, and Wayne counties). It typically is locally common, especially on sandy soils, but only rarely weedy. (Discussion copyrighted by Flora of North America; reprinted with permission.) |
