|discussion=<p><i>Eriogonum androsaceum</i> is common in the high northern Rocky Mountains in southern Alberta and northwestern Montana (Glacier, Lincoln, Park, Pondera, and Teton counties). It is clearly related to <i>E. flavum</i> but is sufficiently distinct to merit recognition as a species. It is seen occasionally in cultivation but deserves more horticultural attention.</p><!--
--><p>A decoction of the rock-jasmine wild buckwheat was used in sweatbaths for rheumatism, and for internal pain by the Thompson Indians of British Columbia (E. V. Steedman 1930). Interestingly, Steedman indicated also that a strong decoction of the plants was used for syphilis.</p>
