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.) |
Varieties 2 (2 in the flora). Eriogonum panguicense is an isolated species that may be related to the E. batemanii complex, or perhaps to E. lonchophyllum. It is a distinct taxon and worthy of horticultural consideration as a rock garden plant. The large (0.5–0.6 mm), oblong, deep purplish-red anthers against the whitish tepals are striking.
