importance is based upon value of host plant for many insects (including a semi-exlusive use by some california endemic endangered species) and mammals, and also its broad use as a landscape plant. it is also endemic to a fairly narrow coastal range of california- Anlace 01:12, 20 January 2007 (UTC)Reply

I edited out most of the conservation section because the problem at LAX was that the wrong buckwheat (E. fasciculatum) was planted. When it was removed and E. parvifolium was planted the competition on flowerheads of E. parvifolium decreased and El Segundo blue increased. So the problem wasn't too much parvifolium, but too little and the presence of the wrong Eriogonum.

Importance is for the Wikiproject organizing all articles on the State of California, across all disciplines. of course the endangered species of the state are important, but they are not as important as encyclopedic subjects as other mid importance articles. this may be speciesist, but this is not the Plant kingdom Wikipedia (ie written by plants for plant speaking species)Mercurywoodrose (talk) 00:17, 19 November 2012 (UTC)Reply
