Eriogonum gracillimum is found in the Coast, Transverse, and scattered mountain desert ranges in Fresno, Inyo, Kern, Kings, Los Angeles, Madera, Merced, Monterey, Riverside, San Benito, San Bernardino, San Diego, San Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara, and Tulare counties. The species is often common and occasionally even weedy. (Discussion copyrighted by Flora of North America; reprinted with permission.) |
Eriogonum scopulorum is known only from a few scattered locations in the Wallowa Mountains of Wallowa County, Oregon, and in Adams and Idaho counties, Idaho. While rare, and of concern to the U.S. Forest Service, it is not considered a “sensitive species,” given its remote location and lack of any immediate threat. The cliff wild buckwheat is worthy of cultivation as a rock garden plant. (Discussion copyrighted by Flora of North America; reprinted with permission.) |
