Eriogonum lobbii is rather infrequent throughout its range. It is found in three widely scattered areas of concentration: the high mountains of northwestern California and southwestern Oregon; the southern portion of the North Coast Range of California; and the Sierra Nevada of eastern California and west-central Nevada. In the first two areas, the plants frequently are associated with serpentine soils; elsewhere the species is found almost exclusively on granitic soils and infrequently on volcanic ones. There are some morphologic differences between the Sierran plants and those of the coastal mountains, but no taxonomic separation is suggested. The species is a food plant for the intermediate dotted-blue butterfly (Euphilotes intermedia). (Discussion copyrighted by Flora of North America; reprinted with permission.) |
Of conservation concern. Eriogonum natum is known only from Millard County, where it occurs near Sevier Lake. It is probably a recently evolved species, as its entire habitat was submerged under pluvial Lake Bonneville until some 10,000 years ago. Now isolated and morphologically distinct, it probably originated from E. brevicaule var. cottamii, a plant of limestone outcrops in the hills to the north and east. The species is worthy of introduction into the garden. An unnumbered M. E. Jones collection of E. natum dated 6 June 1913 (POM, UTC) supposedly was collected at Moab, Grand County. There is a question mark above the label on the POM sheet, and whoever added it may have been aware that the sheet was mislabeled.
