Taxonomic Comments

With the transfer of Eriogonum prociduum var. mystrium to E. crosbyae (Grady and Reveal 2011), the concept of E. crosybae followed here is broader than that used in FNA (2005) and much broader than the concept used by Kartesz (1994 and 1999). Kartesz recognized E. crosbyae, E. capistratum, E. capistratum var. capistratum, E. capistratum var. muhlickii, E. capistratum var. welshii, E. meledonum, E. ochrocephalum var. alexanderae and E. verrucosum as distinct taxa. In FNA (2005), E. capistratum, E. capistratum var. capistratum, E. capistratum var. muhlickii, E. capistratum var. welshii, E. meledonum, E. ochrocephalum var. alexanderae and E. verrucosum are all included in the synonymy of E. crosbyae.
