Of conservation concern. Eriogonum molestum is infrequent to occasionally common in the San Bernardino (San Bernardino County) and San Jacinto (Riverside County) mountains, and in scattered mountain ranges of San Diego County, California. It is easily confused with the perennial E. nudum var. pauciflorum. (Discussion copyrighted by Flora of North America; reprinted with permission.) |
Varieties 3 (3 in the flora). The Navajo or Diné people consider Eriogonum lachnogynum to be a “life medicine,” making a concoction of shredded roots for the treatment of internal, and some external, ailments. It is often given for diarrhea. (Discussion copyrighted by Flora of North America; reprinted with permission.) |
