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 vestitum is restricted to the Idria region of San Benito County, the Silver Creek Canyon and Mercey Hot Springs areas of Fresno County, and the Los Banos Hills in Merced County. It is closely related to E. eastwoodianum. Some individuals mimic E. gracile, and a clear distinction is not always possible with immature specimens.
