Eriogonum tomentosum is widespread in a series of somewhat disjunct populations mainly on the coastal plain. It supposedly is found in North Carolina, but no specimens have been seen. An unnumbered J. K. Small collection from Miami, Florida (Nov. 1904, NY), surely is mislabeled. A Cuthbert collection (30 Jul. 1876, MICH) from Augusta may be from a garden, as that location is well out of the known range of the species. Mark Catesby made the first collections (BM-Sloane, OXF) of the species in the 1720s. T. Walter (1788) ascribed his specimen (BM-Walter) to a European species of Saxifragaceae.

Eriogonum roseum is widespread and typically common; occasionally it will be locally abundant but only rarely can it be considered weedy. It occurs from southwestern Oregon south through much of California to northern Baja California Norte, Mexico. Morphologically this annual species approaches the perennial E. elongatum, and poorly prepared specimens sometimes are difficult to differentiate. A clear distinction between E. roseum and E. gracile appears to be consistently possible in the field, but some herbarium material can be difficult to assign. By and large, E. roseum is more robust and less branched than the decidedly more slender and graceful E. gracile. Seeds of Eriogonum roseum were pounded into a powder and either mixed with water and used as a beverage or eaten raw by the Kawaiisu people (M. L. Zigmond 1981).
