|discussion=<p>Variety nivale is the common high-elevation expression of the species in desert ranges of the Great Basin and in the Sierra-Cascade cordillera. In northwestern Washington, some plants of <i></i></i>var.<i><i> nivale</i> have scapes to 13 cm (especially in Chellam County). They are well removed from <i></i></i>var.<i><i> purpureum</i>, and have the dense, almost brilliant white tomentum of <i></i></i>var.<i><i> nivale</i>. Plants in the Slide Mountain-Mt. Rose area of west-central <i>Nevada</i> occasionally have the brown leaf margins more commonly seen in the lower-elevation <i></i></i>var.<i><i> eximium</i>. A few populations having off-yellowish flowers are known from the White Mountains of Inyo and Mono counties, California. There as well, the tepals are distinctly marked by a large red midrib. This is similar to the condition found in <i>Eriogonum gilmanii</i>, but in the White Mountains plants the tepals are not globose as in that species nor is the pubescence similar. The variety is ideal for the rock garden and is widely available for cultivation.</p>
