Eriogonum gordonii is common to even locally abundant throughout a range that extends in an arc from the Colorado Plateau of extreme northern Coconino and Apache counties, Arizona, and San Juan County, New Mexico, northward through the desert regions of eastern Utah and western Colorado into southwestern Wyoming, then northeastward mainly in short-grass prairie through east-central Wyoming and extreme northwestern Nebraska to South Dakota. A series of disjunct populations occurs in Fremont and Las Animas counties in Colorado. The species can be weedy in appearance but usually is absent from areas of significant disturbance, unlike other annual wild buckwheats.

Eriogonum temblorense is rare but much more widely distributed than the closely related E. eastwoodianum. In early anthesis, it is difficult to differentiate between the two species, and plants gathered in May at Cottonwood Pass are particularly troublesome, as the first basal leaf blades are often suborbiculate. Those leaves quickly fall away, and the subsequent basal and cauline leaf blades are elliptic. As circumscribed here, E. temblorense is known from six sites in Monterey (Stone Canyon), San Luis Obispo (Cottonwood Pass and Polonio Pass areas), and Kern (Chico Martinez Canyon, Shale Hills, and hills west of McKittrick) counties.
