Eriogonum thymoides
Also called Thyme Leaf Wild Buckwheat
Eriogonum thymoides is a species of flowering plant in the buckwheat family known by the common name thymeleaf wild buckwheat, or simply thymeleaf buckwheat.
Eriogonum thymoides is native to dry regions of Idaho, Oregon, and Washington in the Pacific Northwest of the United States, where there are three main population groups. It flowers in mid-spring. This plant grows in sagebrush, ponderosa pine forest openings, and mountain ridges, often on very shallow rocky soil above basalt. Though it grows in a restricted region it is locally abundant.
According to one source, this plant has "special value to native bees."
