. California range brushlands and browse plants. Browse (Animal food); Brush; Forage plants. Distribution of green molly (Kochia americana), California buckwheat (Eriogonum fasciculatum), and hop-sage (Grat/ia spinosa). upper surface of leaves hairy; var. polifolium—leaves densely gray hoary above, not as inrolled as the species; var. flavoviride—leaves yellow-green, almost smooth above. Distribution (map on this page). The species occurs on dry slopes and canyons near the immediate coast from Santa Barbara to northern Lower California. Var. folio- losum is common on interior slopes and mesas below 3,000 feet elevation from Monterey and San Benito coun- ties to northern Lower California. Common associated plants are coastal sagebrush, sages, coyote bush, and various grasses and forbs. Var. polifolium ocurs com- monly on dry slopes below 7,000 feet elevation on both deserts to the San Joaquin Valley and Inyo County, as well as in the interior foothills of southern California. Var. flavoviride grows in rocky places below 4,000 feet elevation in the Eagle Mountains of eastern Biverside Countv, to Little San Bernardino and Sheephole moun- tains. Economic value. California buckwheat is browsed in varying degrees by all domestic livestock and big-game animals. Being an evergreen, the leafage is cropped by domestic stock with fair relish throughout the summer and autumn, and by deer throughout the winter. Goats and deer utilize the current growth more closelv than the other animals. Browse rating. Good to fair for deer; fair for goats; fair to poor for cattle and sheep; poor to useless for horses which feed sparingly upon the leafage and cur- rent stems. Part II.
