Eriogonum hookeri is basically a species of the Intermountain Region of Utah and Nevada, just entering portions of east-central California, southeastern Oregon, southeastern Idaho, southwestern Wyoming, western Colorado, northwestern New Mexico, and northern Arizona. Populations of the species usually are scattered, with the plants rarely common and even less frequently locally weedy. P. A. Vestal (1940) stated that the Hopi boiled Eriogonum hookeri with mush for flavoring. (Discussion copyrighted by Flora of North America; reprinted with permission.) |
Of conservation concern. Eriogonum arborescens is local and occasionally rare on Santa Cruz, Santa Rosa, and Anacapa islands in Santa Cruz and Ventura counties. The species is cultivated, and populations have become naturalized on the mainland from San Mateo County south to San Diego, in large part because of planting along highways. Every effort should be made to remove these naturalized populations from the mainland. (Discussion copyrighted by Flora of North America; reprinted with permission.) |
