--><p><i>Eriogonum cusickii</i> is fairly common in scattered portions of Deschutes, Harney, Klamath, and Lake counties. It is gradually being introduced into cultivation.</p><!--
--><p><i>Eriogonum prociduum</i> is distinct from <i>E. cusickii</i>, but some populations of the latter in Lake County, Oregon, south of Christmas Valley and northwest of Wagontire, have capitate inflorescences even in fruit. These plants differ from typical <i>E. prociduum</i> by consistently having small, rather narrow leaf blades (3–6 × 1–4 mm) that sheath up the flowering stems.</p>
