Eriogonum plumatella is a species of wild buckwheat known by the common name yucca buckwheat. It is native to the desert southwest of the United States.
Description
This is an erect shrub reaching a maximum of about 60 centimeters in height and having a narrow, nonspreading profile. Its branching inflorescence has small, woolly, oval-shaped leaves each about a centimeter long.
The top of the plant is occupied by flower clusters which sometimes appear as though arranged in horizontal layers. The flowers are generally pale yellow or white.
