Eriogonum parishii occurs from southern Mono County in the White Mountains southward in the Sierra Nevada of Inyo and Tulare counties to scattered desert ranges in San Bernardino (San Bernardino Mountains), Riverside (San Jacinto and Santa Rosa mountains), and San Diego (Laguna Mountains) counties. In Mexico, the species occurs as far south as the Sierra San Pedro Martír in Baja California Norte. A disjunct population from Crown King, Yavapai County, Arizona (Beaty s.n., 6 Sep 1951, CAS) requires confirmation. Possibly it is a recent introduction.

Of conservation concern. Eriogonum coloradense is a high-elevation species closely allied to E. lonchophyllum. It is restricted to the backbone of the central Colorado Rocky Mountains in Chaffee, Gunnison, Park, Pitkin, and Saguache counties. The Colorado wild buckwheat is listed as a “sensitive” species for Colorado. It is occasionally seen in cultivation. (Discussion copyrighted by Flora of North America; reprinted with permission.) |
