Eriogonum villiflorum is probably more common than now documented, the plants being inconspicuous and easily overlooked. It is known from Eureka, Lincoln, northeastern Nye, and White Pine counties in eastern Nevada, and from Beaver, Iron, Juab, Kane, Millard, Sanpete, and Tooele counties in western Utah. The Kane County type location is questionable, as it is well outside the known range of the species today. The sprawling flowering stems with large clusters of involucres and flowers are distinctive. The species is occasionally encountered in cultivation as a rock-garden plant. (Discussion copyrighted by Flora of North America; reprinted with permission.) |
Eriogonum lemmonii is rare and localized, only infrequently being locally occasional. It is restricted to the southwestern edge of the pluvial Lahontan Lake basin of northwestern Nevada. It is found mainly in the Silver Springs and Wadsworth areas of Washoe, Churchill, and Storey counties, with outlying populations at the southern end of the Sahwave Mountains (Pershing County) and in Wilson Canyon (Lyon County). It is on the Nevada “watch list” of narrowly distributed endemic species. (Discussion copyrighted by Flora of North America; reprinted with permission.) |
