Eriogonum ternatum is infrequently encountered in the Coast Ranges of southwestern Oregon (Curry and Josephine counties) and adjacent northwestern California (Del Norte and western Siskiyou counties). A collection from “Dodkin’s Lake” in the Mt. Eddy area of Siskiyou County (Bracelin 455, IND) remains to be confirmed, as this is well to the east of other populations. Some workers have confused this species with E. umbellatum (especially var. humistratum). No doubt the poor representation of this species in herbaria is due at least in part to collectors having assumed that it is some variant of the much more common E. umbellatum.

Of conservation concern. Eriogonum nervulosum is found infrequently in small, widely scattered populations in the southern half of the North Coast Ranges. There are six known locations, and no doubt more remain to be found. Except for a Sonoma County site, the plants are found on ridges that separate Colusa and Lake counties, from Snow Mountain in the north to southwest of Clear Lake in the south. The species is found also in the Confusion Canyon area south and west of the lake. It is an ideal rock-garden introduction, although it grows only on grayish or reddish-brown serpentine soils in the wild.
