Varieties 3 (3 in the flora). Eriogonum flavum approaches E. arcuatum morphologically in southeastern Wyoming, and a clear distinction is not always possible when the plants are immature or the herbarium material is poor. Variety polyphyllum, as traditionally circumscribed, is an alpine phase of both var. flavum and var. piperi; it is encountered infrequently in scattered range in the high mountains of southwestern Montana and northwestern Wyoming. (Discussion copyrighted by Flora of North America; reprinted with permission.) |
Eriogonum correllii is known from a few scattered locations in northern Texas (Armstrong, Briscoe, Floyd, Foard, Hardeman, Knox, and Oldham counties). Published references to this species (R. B. Kaul 1986) being in Oklahoma were based on specimens of E. jamesii var. jamesii. (Discussion copyrighted by Flora of North America; reprinted with permission.) |
