gray buckwheat, Eriogonum villiflorum
gray buckwheat, Eriogonum villiflorum, Nevada, Schell Creek Range, Sidehill Pass, Cave Valley drainage, elevation 1850 m (6065 ft).
Speaking of favorites, this little buckwheat has grown on me since I've worked in Nevada. It is endemic to lower slopes of the carbonate mountain ranges of the eastern Great Basin, in western Utah and eastern Nevada. It seems to be reasonably common within that limited range, but is easily overlooked, especially when not in flower.
