Eriogonum pauciflorum
grows on sandstone buttes in northeastern Colorado. The plant forms a loose mat
with dense clusters of white and pink flowers. Leaves are densely pubescent. The
outside surface of the tepals is also pubescent, but sometimes this is hard to
see without a strong lens or microscope. The pictured plant is Eriogonum pauciflorum
var. gnaphalodes.
Pawnee Buttes is a good place to look for this species.
