Description


Eriogonum latifolium is a perennial herb which is variable in size. Its height is dependent in part on its degree of exposure to the stiff maritime winds of its habitat. It can be very small or sprawl to a maximum height of 70 centimeters. Its pale white-green leaves are oval, woolly, sometimes waxy, and mostly basal. The leaves can extend up if there is an erect stem.[1]

At the end of each branch is a cluster of pinkish flowers. Flowers can also be white or red in color.[2]
