The native range of Eriogonum parvifolium is restricted to coastal and near-coastal areas (Los Angeles, Monterey, Orange, San Diego, San Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara, and Ventura counties). The coastal expression (var. parvifolium) has thickened leaf blades (0.5–1.5 × 0.3–0.8 cm) and simple or dichotomous inflorescences of compact clusters of involucres containing white to rose flowers. Highly compact and dense mat-forming plants on rocky bluffs immediately next to the ocean were named var. crassifolium; those with yellow flowers were named var. lucidum. The inland form with thin leaf blades (1.5–3 × 0.3–0.8 cm) and highly-branched, cymose, white-flowered inflorescences is perhaps worthy of continued recognition as var. paynei, although there is no sharp distinction between the extremes. Several expressions of the seacliff wild buckwheat are in cultivation, and unfortunately the California Department of Transportation is using the species in roadside plantings, with the result that it is now established in Santa Clara County. Every effort should be made to halt its introduction beyond its native range. The species is the food plant for two federally endangered butterflies, the El Segundo dotted-blue (Euphilotes battoides allyni), near Los Angeles, and Smith’s dotted-blue (Euphilotes enoptes smithi), near Monterey.

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.
