|discussion=<p>Variety cottamii is infrequent in the desert ranges west of the Wasatch Range in eastern portions of Juab, Millard, and Tooele counties, the southwestern corner of Salt Lake County, and in western Utah County. The attractive tomentum of Cottam’s wild buckwheat changes from a gray to tannish- or reddish-brown as the plant matures, and the species is worthy of horticultural consideration. The narrow leaf blades of <i></i></i>var.<i><i> cottamii</i> readily distinguish it from the more western <i>E. natum</i>.</p>
