Eriogonum thymoides is an exquisite species concentrated in three regions of the Pacific Northwest. The first is along the eastern edge of the Cascade Range from near Wenatchee, Washington (Adams, Benton, Chelan, Douglas, Franklin, Grant, Kittitas, Klickitat, Lincoln, and Yakima counties), to near the Dalles in extreme north-central Oregon (Union County). The second is from Baker and northern Malheur counties, Oregon, to Adams, Canyon, and Washington counties, Idaho. A third series of populations is in the Mount Bennett Hills area of Gooding County, Idaho, and just over the borders in Blaine, Camas, Elmore, and Lincoln counties. Staminate plants tend to have yellow flowers that quickly fade after pollen release. Pistillate plants tend to have white to pale yellow flowers that persist and greatly elongate as the achene matures. (Discussion copyrighted by Flora of North America; reprinted with permission.) |
Eriogonum temblorense is rare but much more widely distributed than the closely related E. eastwoodianum. In early anthesis, it is difficult to differentiate between the two species, and plants gathered in May at Cottonwood Pass are particularly troublesome, as the first basal leaf blades are often suborbiculate. Those leaves quickly fall away, and the subsequent basal and cauline leaf blades are elliptic. As circumscribed here, E. temblorense is known from six sites in Monterey (Stone Canyon), San Luis Obispo (Cottonwood Pass and Polonio Pass areas), and Kern (Chico Martinez Canyon, Shale Hills, and hills west of McKittrick) counties.
