Varieties 2 (2 in the flora). Eriogonum gracile is a highly variable species. The low, spreading plants from the mountains of coastal central California with 2–3 mm involucres and (usually) yellowish flowers differ from the more erect plants represented by the type collection, which have 1.8–2 mm involucres and white flowers. Such plants are found mainly farther south, in the Mt. Diablo and Mt. Hamilton areas of Alameda, Contra Costa, and Stanislaus counties. Some populations of E. gracile from the Inner Coast Ranges of eastern San Luis Obispo County are slightly different from the norm and the epithet leucocladon has been adopted in some local floristic treatments to account for them. However, the type of E. leucocladon does not seem to be this phase. (Discussion copyrighted by Flora of North America; reprinted with permission.) |
Eriogonum eastwoodianum is rare and known only from two disjunct locations in Fresno County, one in the Silver Creek Canyon area and the other above Jacalitos Ranch on Parkfield Grade. Plants from a third site in the Cottonwood Pass area of San Luis Obispo County are now assigned to E. temblorense. That species and E. vestitum are closely related to E. eastwoodianum, and only fully mature plants can be assigned unquestionably to one of those species.
