Of conservation concern. Eriogonum hylophilum is known from a few, scattered locations in the Gate Canyon area and just west along the rim of the Badland Cliffs in Duchesne County. The species is closely related to E. corymbosum and approaches the minor segregate of the latter known as var. erectum. It is possible that the Gate Canyon wild buckwheat has an evolutionary history involving that expression of E. corymbosum and the white- to cream-colored flower expression of E. brevicaule var. laxifolium. If so, E. hylophilum is a stable and persistent taxon of hybrid origin. (Discussion copyrighted by Flora of North America; reprinted with permission.) |
