Of conservation concern. Eriogonum cinereum occurs naturally along the Pacific Coast in Los Angeles, Santa Barbara, and Ventura counties, and also on Santa Rosa Island. It is infrequently planted along highways (and is now found in San Diego County) and hybridizes with E. fasciculatum var. foliolosum. The species is the food plant of the Bernardino dotted-blue butterfly (Euphilotes bernardino). (Discussion copyrighted by Flora of North America; reprinted with permission.) |
Of conservation concern. Eriogonum suffruticosum is a rare, localized species, known only from 13 scattered locations in Brewster and Presidio counties of western Texas. Its relationship to other species in the genus is obscure. (Discussion copyrighted by Flora of North America; reprinted with permission.) |
