Description

Eriogonum angulosum is an annual herb producing a spreading to erect stem up to 90 centimetres (35 in) tall. The leaves are located about the base of the plant and on the lower stem. They are lance-shaped and usually quite woolly in texture. Most of the stem is made up of the inflorescence, an angled, grooved cyme with bell-shaped clusters of flowers at the tips of the branches. The individual flowers are only about a millimeter long and are white to pink-tinged in color with protruding stamens.
