About Eriogonum nummulare M.E.Jones
Eriogonum nummulare M.E.Jones is a species of wild buckwheat. It has two common names: Kearney's buckwheat and money buckwheat. This species is native to the Great Basin region of the United States, occurring from California to Utah, where it grows on sandy slopes and plateaus. It is a shrub that grows between 30 centimeters and one meter tall, and can spread up to one and a half meters wide. It forms a patch of pale green woolly leaves at its base, and produces a branching inflorescence that may bear leaves on its thin stems. At each node along the inflorescence grows a cluster of tiny, usually white flowers.
