Eriogonum brachyanthum basically is a species of the Mojave Desert, extending northward in eastern California (Inyo, Kern, Los Angeles, Mono, Riverside, and San Bernardino counties) and along the Lahontan Trough of Nevada (Churchill, Esmeralda, Eureka, Humboldt, Lander, Lyon, Mineral, Nye, Pershing, and Washoe counties) to just north of Denio in Harney County, Oregon. It is common to abundant and even locally weedy in the northern Mojave Desert. Elsewhere it is less common and much more widely scattered. It often is found with other annual wild buckwheats forming dense patches (especially along highways) composed of several (up to seven in places) species, and care must be taken to sort them properly when making herbarium specimens.

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.) |
