Varieties 2 (2 in the flora). According to N. J. Turner et al. (1980), plants of the narrow-leaved phase (var. angustifolum) were used for colds, tuberculosis, and other lung ailments, and to treat infected cuts and sores (a decoction of roots and stems). V. F. Ray (1933) reported that a decoction of roots of such plants was taken for diarrhea. E. V. Steedman (1930) said that they were taken for stomachaches, used in steambaths to treat aching joints and muscles, and had a role in a purifying ceremony held in sweatlodges. Steedman also indicated that a strong decoction was taken by the Thompson Indians to treat syphilis. (Discussion copyrighted by Flora of North America; reprinted with permission.) |
Of conservation concern. Eriogonum arizonicum is widely distributed in scattered and isolated populations across central Arizona from extreme eastern Mohave and southern Yavapai counties through northern Maricopa County to southern Gila and northern Pinal counties. It rarely is common in any location. Limited field observations suggest that some individuals in a population may be first-year flowering perennials.
