Herbs, polycarpic, 5–12 dm, glabrous; taproot not chambered. |
caudex spreading; aerial flowering stems erect, slender, solid, not fistulose, arising at nodes of caudex branches and at distal nodes of short, nonflowering aerial branches, (0.5–)1–3(–4) dm, often with a whorl of (2–)5–10, linear to oblanceolate, leaflike bracts ca. midlength, 0.5–4(–5) × 0.2–1 (1.5) cm, mostly tomentose to floccose. |
caudex compact; aerial flowering stems usually 1, not fistulose, 2–4.5(–5) dm, glabrous. |
in loose rosettes; petiole 0.5–3 cm, usually floccose; blade usually linear to oblanceolate, (1.5–)2–5 × 0.2–1(–1.5) cm, densely white-lanate to tomentose on both surfaces or only abaxially, thinly floccose or glabrous and green adaxially, margins entire, plane. |
basal and cauline; basal petiolate, petiole 1–2.5 cm, strigose, blade oblanceolate to spatulate, 4–8 × 0.5–1.6 cm, strigose and grayish on both surfaces; cauline blade absent or sessile, oblanceolate, (0.5–)1–4 × (0.2–)0.3–0.8 cm, similar to basal blade. |
simple or compound-umbellate, rarely reduced and compact, 1–10 × 1–10 cm; branches tomentose to floccose; bracts 3–10 or more, leaflike at proximal node, oblanceolate to linear, 0.3–1 × 0.2–0.4 cm, usually scalelike distally, 1–5 × 0.5–2.5 mm. |
2–7 dm; branches glabrous; bracts scalelike, 0.7–2.5 × 0.5–2 mm. |
|
erect, straight or slightly curving upward, 1–8 cm, glabrous. |
1 per node, turbinate to campanulate, 3–4.5 × 2.5–5(–6) mm, tomentose, rarely glabrous; teeth 6–12 or more, lobelike, reflexed, 1.5–5 mm. |
turbinate-campanulate to campanulate, 2–3 × 2–4 mm, glabrous; teeth 0.5–1 mm. |

1.5–2 mm at anthesis, 2.5–3 mm in fruit; perianth white to greenish white at anthesis, reddish in fruit, glabrous or sparsely strigose abaxially; tepals narrowly elliptic to oblong; stamens 2–3 mm; filaments pilose proximally. |

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. Historically, Eriogonum nealleyi occurred in Coke, Howard, Irion, and Sterling counties of southwestern Texas. Recent collections are from Irion and Sterling counties. (Discussion copyrighted by Flora of North America; reprinted with permission.) |
