|discussion=<p><i>Eriogonum nummulare</i> occurs primarily in the Intermountain West from Inyo, Lassen, and Mono counties in California eastward across central and southern <i>Nevada</i> to western and southern Utah. It is found also in northern Mohave and northwestern Coconino counties in Arizona.</p><!--
--><p>This species is the food plant of the pallid dotted-blue butterfly (Euphilotes pallescens pallescens) and the Sand Mountain blue butterfly (Euphilotes pallescens arenamontana) is an unprotected subspecies restricted to Sand Mountain in Churchill County, <i>Nevada</i>, where its host plant, <i>Eriogonum nummulare</i>, currently is subject to continued destruction due to unrestricted off-road vehicle activities.</p>
