Eriogonum helichrysoides is limited to west-central Kansas (Ellis, Gove, Lane, Logan, Scott, and Trego counties). The plants’ dark green color and narrow leaf blades readily segregate the species from E. effusum. (Discussion copyrighted by Flora of North America; reprinted with permission.) |
Of conservation concern. Eriogonum glandulosum is a localized species that varies from rare to common in southeastern Inyo and extreme northeastern San Bernardino counties, California, and in southern Nye, northern Clark, and southwestern Lincoln counties, Nevada. The name E. glandulosum may not be the earliest for the taxon. The type of E. cordatum Torrey & Frémont (1845, as “cordalum”) was collected by Frémont most likely near the California-Nevada border, where E. trichopes, E. contiguum, and E. glandulosum occur. Because the description is not decisive, and because J. Torrey and A. Gray (1870) reported the type as missing, it is impossible to place the name unequivocally. Nonetheless, E. cordatum was reported to be glandular (“glaneous”) with the leaves “pubescent above, hairy underneath.” The glandular condition probably eliminates E. trichopes, while those leaf features probably exclude E. contiguum.
