Of conservation concern. Eriogonum contiguum is confined to the greater Death Valley region in Inyo County, California, and southern Nye County, Nevada. (Discussion copyrighted by Flora of North America; reprinted with permission.) |
Eriogonum viridulum has a distinctive upright inflorescence composed of numerous, bright green and glabrous branches bearing essentially sessile involucres. These features and the linear to narrowly elliptic leaf blades that are typically tightly revolute combine to distinguish the species from the related E. brevicaule var. brevicaule. The clay hill wild buckwheat is known only from Duchesne and Uintah counties but to be expected in adjacent Moffat County, Colorado.
