Eriogonum ordii is infrequently encountered (rarely locally common) along the inner Coast Ranges from Monterey and San Benito counties south through Fresno, Merced, and San Luis Obispo counties to Ventura County, then eastward across northern Los Angeles County to the hills east of Bakersfield in Kern County. This distribution is based on confirmed modern collections. The type (J. G. Lemmon 4189, ASU, BM, DS, G, GH, ISC, K, P, UC, US) supposedly was collected near Fort Mohave, Mohave County, Arizona, in 1884. Two T. Brandegee specimens reportedly were gathered on the boundary of San Diego and Imperial counties, one at Split Mountain (Apr 1905, UC) and the second along San Felipe Creek (4 Apr 1901, UC). Brandegee’s label data often are dubious, and these disjunct sites are discounted. (Discussion copyrighted by Flora of North America; reprinted with permission.) |
Eriogonum reniforme is infrequent to locally common throughout its range on the Mojave and Sonoran deserts in Arizona, southeastern California, and southern Nevada, where it extends northward along the Lahontan Trough onto the cold desert of the Great Basin. It is disjunct in the Tucson Mountains of Maricopa County, Arizona, and while specimens have not been collected there since 1906 (Thornber 5886, CAS, MO), the species recently was found north of Wickenburg (Welnick s.n., undated, ASU). It just enters Mexico, where it is rare. Eriogonum reniforme is a food plant for the rare Mojave dotted-blue butterfly (Euphilotes mojave). The small blue (Philotiella speciosa) also feeds on these plants. (Discussion copyrighted by Flora of North America; reprinted with permission.) |
