There are only three Watershed records of Turritis glabra. Two are from Mineral Co: 6 miles south of Wagon Wheel Gap on Humphrey’s ranch (2012); and Shaw Lake SW of South Fork (photorecords, 2016). A third is from Conejos Co, south of Fox Creek Community (2022, iNaturalist observation #122850248). Habitat of all three seemed to be meadow bordered by woods. There are many records from the San Juan River drainage, just west of the Continental Divide, in Archuleta, Mineral, Hinsdale, and San Juan counties. The USA distribution covers all Western states, the Great Lakes region, and New England. However, it follows the Rio Grande drainage only as far south as Santa Fe Co, New Mexico. The Colorado and New Mexico locations lie at the southeastern corner of the Western distribution.
