Herbs, spreading to erect, (0.5–)1–3 dm, mostly floccose to tomentose, grayish to tawy. Stems: aerial flowering stems mostly erect, 0.3–0.8 dm, floccose to tomentose. Leaves basal; petiole 1–4 cm, floccose; blade suborbiculate to cordate, 0.5–1.5(–1.8) × 0.5–2 cm, densely white- to grayish-tomentose abaxially, less so to glabrate and often greenish adaxially.

Discussion
Eriogonum palmerianum is common and widespread, sometimes becoming locally abundant and even weedy. It is found in the southern Great Basin and Mojave deserts of eastern California eastward through Nevada, southwestern Idaho, and Utah, on to the Colorado Plateau of western Colorado. In Arizona and New Mexico, it occurs mainly in the Sonoran Desert. Occasional collections are difficult to distinguish from E. nidularium, but such confusion usually is not encountered in the field.
