cauline, 1 per node; petiole 0.3–0.6 cm, tomentose; blade lanceolate to elliptic, 3–5 × 0.5–2 cm, densely silvery-tomentose on both surfaces or rarely less so to subglabrous and greenish abaxially, margins plane or slightly revolute, sometimes crenulate. |
cymose, distally uniparous due to suppression of secondary branches, open, 5–25 × 5–25 cm; branches usually inwardly curved, glabrous or tomentose; bracts 0.5–2.5 × 0.5–2 mm. |
cymose, often compact, (3–)6–14 × 3–10 dm; branches dichtomous, tomentose to subglabrous; bracts 3, scalelike, linear, and 1.5–3 mm, or leaflike, 10–15 mm, and similar to leaf blades. |

Varieties 2 (2 in the flora). The graceful, upwardly curved branch segments of Eriogonum cithariforme generally are distinctive in older plants, although an occasional individual of E. davidsonii may have this feature. A distinction between E. cithariforme and E. roseum also is troublesome, as in young material the curved branch segments are not always obvious.

Of conservation concern. Eriogonum lancifolium is known only from Mancos Shale hills and flats east and south of Wellington, in Carbon and Emery counties. The largest population is found on the flats south of Mounds Reef. S. L. Welsh et al. (2003) reduced this species to synonymy under E. corymbosum var. corymbosum.
