Summary edit

Description

pinyon buckwheat, Eriogonum microthecum var. laxiflorum, Nevada, White Mountains, Sugarloaf, Sugarloaf Canyon, Pinchot Creek - Columbus Salt Marsh watershed, elevation 2618 m (8590 ft).

This variety is common in dry upland habitats at middle elevations in the intermountain region between the Rocky Mountains and the Cascade-Sierra Nevada axis of the western United States. About the only thing separating var. laxiflorum from yellow-flowered var. ambiguum is the white flower color, but the two varieties mostly seem to maintain separate populations. The var. ambiguum has a much more restricted geographic range in the northwestern Great Basin, but is completely surrounded by the larger range of var. laxiflorum.
