About

Eriogonum molle, known by common name as the Cedros soft buckwheat, is a species of wild buckwheat endemic to Cedros Island, Mexico.

Where it grows

This plant is only known from the rocky, extreme northern end of Cedros Island, scattered along summits and ridges. It shares a community with primarily succulent species, such as Agave sebastiana, Dudleya albiflora and Dudleya pachyphytum, all fed by the marine fog that frequently covers the northern end of the island.
