About Eriogonum latens Jeps.

Eriogonum latens Jeps. is a perennial herb. It grows from a woody caudex, and forms a basal patch of leaves. The leaves are rounded to oval in shape, green in color, and reach up to approximately 3 centimeters long, growing on short petioles. Its inflorescence emerges from an upright, leafless flowering stem (called a scape), and holds many whitish or yellowish flowers arranged in a spherical cluster.
