--><p><i>Eriogonum hylophilum</i> is known from a few, scattered locations in the Gate Canyon area and just west along the rim of the Badland Cliffs in Duchesne County. The species is closely related to <i>E. corymbosum</i> and approaches the minor segregate of the latter known as <i></i>var.<i> erectum</i>. It is possible that the Gate Canyon wild buckwheat has an evolutionary history involving that expression of <i>E. corymbosum</i> and the white- to cream-colored flower expression of <i>E. brevicaule </i>var.<i> laxifolium</i>. If so, <i>E. hylophilum</i> is a stable and persistent taxon of hybrid origin.</p>
