Eriogonum incanum is common throughout the central and southern Sierra Nevada of California (Alpine, El Dorado, Fresno, Inyo, Madera, Mariposa, Nevada, Tulare, and Tuolumne counties) and extreme west-central Nevada (Carson City, Douglas, and Washoe counties). It is a food plant for the green hairstreak butterfly (Callophrys lemberti), the Pacific dotted-blue (Euphilotes enoptes), and the gorgon copper (Gaeides gorgon). (Discussion copyrighted by Flora of North America; reprinted with permission.) |
Eriogonum vestitum is restricted to the Idria region of San Benito County, the Silver Creek Canyon and Mercey Hot Springs areas of Fresno County, and the Los Banos Hills in Merced County. It is closely related to E. eastwoodianum. Some individuals mimic E. gracile, and a clear distinction is not always possible with immature specimens.
