Comments
There are less than a dozen records of Pyrola asarifolia from the Watershed, scattered, from the Garitas, San Juans, and north Cristos ranges. Not surprisingly, both Ackerfield and BONAP show Mineral Co, although SEINet records no vouchers from there. No occurrences have been recorded from the Culebras, but a few from their continuation into New Mexico, where the species has been recorded from Rio Arriba, Taos, Colfax, and Santa Fe counties but not farther down stream. It is present in all USA states west of the Great Plains except for Arizona.
