|discussion=<p>Some specimens from north-central California and southwestern Oregon have been named <i>Arenaria</i> pumicola <i></i>var.<i> californica</i>. R. L. Hartman (1993) considered those plants to be robust forms of <i>Eremogone aculeata</i>, not deserving formal recognition. Based on work by M. F. Baad (1969), they warrant further study.</p><!--
--><p>Reports of <i>Eremogone aculeata</i> from Arizona, New Mexico, and Wyoming are erroneous.</p>
