Cheilanthes eatonii is the second most common member of the genus in this area, following Cheilanthes fendleri. Cheilanthes eatonii has lanceolate costal scales the margins of which are not ciliate. The pinnae are densely tomentose with matted fine hairs. On the abaxial surface, the scales tend to not obscure the tomentum on the terminal pinnules (unlike Cheilanthes lindheimeri.) The amount of adaxial tomentum is highly variable on Cheilanthes eatonii.
