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.) |
Eriogonum panamintense is widely scattered in the desert ranges from the southern tip of the White Mountains in Inyo County to the New York Mountains of San Bernardino County, California, eastward across Nevada in the Magruder and Silver Peak (Esmeralda County), Grapevine (Nye County), and Spring (Charleston) mountains (Clark County) of Nevada, on the Hualapai Mountains south of Kingman, and on Mt. Bangs south of Littlefield, Mohave County, Arizona. The Panamint Mountain wild buckwheat typically grows at elevations in California higher than does E. rupinum, but in Nevada their elevation ranges overlap, as in the Magruder Mountains and near Westgard Pass in the White Mountains.
