Eriogonum nummulare occurs primarily in the Intermountain West from Inyo, Lassen, and Mono counties in California eastward across central and southern Nevada to western and southern Utah. It is found also in northern Mohave and northwestern Coconino counties in Arizona. This species is the food plant of the pallid dotted-blue butterfly (Euphilotes pallescens pallescens) and the Sand Mountain blue butterfly (Euphilotes pallescens arenamontana) is an unprotected subspecies restricted to Sand Mountain in Churchill County, Nevada, where its host plant, Eriogonum nummulare, currently is subject to continued destruction due to unrestricted off-road vehicle activities.

Varieties 3 (3 in the flora). Eriogonum leptocladon is localized on moving sands on the Colorado Plateau. It is not unusual, therefore, for portions of the shrub to be buried in sand, especially the main, woody trunk from which the flowering stems arise. In the Four Corners area three species share portions of overlapping ranges, and herbarium material from there can be difficult to separate. In northwestern New Mexico, var. ramosissimum approaches E. effusum, and in eastern San Juan County the two can be distinguished only by the open, spreading inflorescence branching pattern of var. ramosissimum as compared to the densely branched, compact inflorescence of E. effusum. In the field, the former is confined to sandy areas whereas the latter is typically on heavier, usually clayey soils. In south-central Utah, var. ramosissimum approaches E. nummulare. There, both are found on moving sands, and only the degree of stoutness of the branches can be used to differentiate them when cauline leaves are absent. For the most part, the inflorescence branches of E. nummulare are more rigid and stouter than those of var. ramosissimum, which tend to be flexible and slender. When leaves are present, those of the former are broader and more apically rounded compared to those of the latter. (Discussion copyrighted by Flora of North America; reprinted with permission.) |
