|discussion=<p><i>Eriogonum ampullaceum</i> is the Great Basin counterpart to <i>E. mohavense</i> of the Mojave Desert. It is found along the eastern edge of the Sierra <i>Nevada</i> in Mono County, California, mainly in the Bridgeport, Mono Lake, and Long Valley areas (south of Mammoth). It occurs also in Alkali Valley in Mineral County, <i>Nevada</i>, and to the south in Fish Lake Valley of Esmeralda County. The species recently has been seen as a roadside weed along U.S. Highway 395 near Big Pine in Inyo County, California. The plants typically are infrequent and only occasionally locally common. The species is considered “sensitive” in <i>Nevada</i>.</p>
