Eriogonum davidsonii is widespread and mostly common to occasionally abundant or weedy in Arizona, California, southern Nevada, and southern Utah. It is exceedingly variable. In the northern part of California, its range approaches that of E. luteolum var. luteolum, and the two can be difficult to differentiate. To the south, in Tulare County, the distinction between E. davidsonii and E. luteolum var. pedunculatum also is difficult. Specimens of Eriogonum davidsonii with curved inflorescence branches resemble E. cithariforme in the mountains of southern California, and care must be taken to separate E. davidsonii from its more robust relative, E. molestum in the San Jacinto Mountains of Riverside County. The disjunct populations in Utah and Arizona are somewhat different in appearance but presently do not seem worthy of taxonomic separation. The epithet juncinellum is available should recognition be desired. Seeds of Davidson’s wild buckwheat were pounded into a meal and eaten dry by the Kawaiisu people of southern California (M. L. Zigmond 1981). (Discussion copyrighted by Flora of North America; reprinted with permission.) |
Eriogonum batemanii is fairly common throughout its range in northwestern Colorado (Moffat and Rio Blanco counties) and east-central Utah (Carbon, Duchesne, Emery, Garfield, Grand, and Uintah counties). In Duchesne County it hybridizes with E. shockleyi, producing an unnamed but distinctive hybrid. (Discussion copyrighted by Flora of North America; reprinted with permission.) |
