| Herbs, compact or spreading, matted, 0.3–2 × 0.5–3 dm, floccose or glabrous. |
Herbs, polycarpic, 1–4 dm, glandular-puberulent; taproot not chambered. |
caudex absent or spreading; aerial flowering stems prostrate to weakly erect, slender, solid, not fistulose, usually arising directly from a taproot, 0.3–1.5(–1.8) dm, villous to floccose or glabrous. |
caudex absent or compact; aerial flowering stems usually 1, erect or nearly so, not fistulose, 0.5–1.5 dm, glandular-puberulent. |
basal, mostly in loose rosettes; petiole 1–4 cm, tomentose to floccose; blade ovate to round, 1–2.5(–4) × 0.8–2 cm, grayish- to tannish-lanate or tomentose abaxially, glabrous and green adaxially, or glabrous on both surfaces, margins entire, plane. |
basal and cauline; basal petiolate, petiole often winged, 0.5–2 cm, hispid, blade elliptic to broadly spatulate, 2–6(–10) × 0.5–2(–2.5) cm, hispid and uniformly stipitate-glandular on both surfaces or glabrous except for ciliate midvein and margin; cauline sessile, blades in whorls of 3–10 per node, oblanceolate, obovate, or spatulate, 0.5–4 × 0.2–1.5(–2) cm, similar to basal blade except more hispid and less glandular adaxially than abaxially, or glabrous except for ciliate midvein and margins. |
capitate or umbellate, 1–3(–5) × 1–4 cm; branches floccose or glabrous; bracts 2, leaflike, (0.4–)1–2 × 0.1–0.2(–0.4) cm, sometimes absent immediately below involucre. |
1–3 × 1–3 dm; branches glandular-puberulent; bracts semileaflike to scalelike, 3–15 × 1–3(–5) mm. |
|
ascending to erect, straight or slightly curving upward, 1–6(–7) cm, glandular and hispid. |
1 per node (occasionally appearing clustered), campanulate, 4–6 × (3–)4–8 mm, pilose or glabrous; teeth 4–5, erect, 0.6–1 mm. |
campanulate, 1.5–3 × 3–5 mm, slightly to densely strigose and glandular; teeth 1–1.5 mm. |
4–6 mm, including 0.1–0.2 mm stipelike base; perianth white to rose, pilose to villous with intermixed glandular hairs abaxially; tepals monomorphic, obovate; stamens exserted, 4–8 mm; filaments pilose proximally. |
1.5–2.5 mm in anthesis, 2.5–3.5 mm in fruit; perianth yellowish white with prominent reddish brown to brown midribs and bases, becoming more reddish in fruit, strigose abaxially; tepals lanceolate to oblong; stamens 1.5–2 mm; filaments glabrous. |
light brown to brown, 4–5 mm, glabrous except for pilose beak. |
reddish brown, 3–4 mm, 3-ridged distally, short-beaked, glabrous. |

Varieties 2 (2 in the flora). The taxonomic merit of the two varieties of Eriogonum pyrolifolium is dubious. Plants with both hairy and nonhairy leaves are found growing together, and yet there are many populations in which only a single expression is found.

Of conservation concern. Eriogonum greggii just enters the flora area in Hildago and Starr counties, where it is rare. In Mexico, the plants occur in Coahuila and Nuevo León, nearly always below 1850 m. There, Gregg’s wild buckwheat occasionally is found in montane conifer woodlands.
