Eriogonum latens is locally uncommon to rare in the White Mountains of western Nevada (Esmeralda County) and along the eastern slope of the Sierra Nevada in California (Inyo and Mono counties). An isolated population occurs on Waucoba Mountain in the Inyo Mountains. A collection supposedly from Long Valley in Mono County (Noldeke s.n., Jul 1938, CAS) remains to be confirmed as to location.

Eriogonum argillosum is rare to locally infrequent in coastal central California. It was last seen in Santa Clara County in 1895 and now is almost certainly extirpated there. Otherwise, it is found in the San Benito River Canyon (San Benito County) area and east of San Lucas (Monterey County). This is the most distinct of the five species in the E. eastwoodianum complex.
