From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Eriogonum pyrolifolium is a species of wild buckwheat known by the common names Shasta buckwheat and pyrola-leafed buckwheat. It is native to western North America, from British Columbia to the high mountains of California. This is a small woody perennial reaching a maximum height and width of about 20 centimeters, including its inflorescence. Its rounded or spade-shaped, woolly, petioled leaves are located at the base of the plant; their resemblance to the leaves of wintergreens (genus Pyrola) gives the species its name. Clusters of flowers appear on stalks which may be erect or bend to the ground. The small hairy flowers are usually pink.
