- Comments
- Fairly common on both sides of the Watershed, greenflowered wintergreen is usually found in conifer understory, growning in shaded moist soil. Several vouchers come from meadows. None are from the Culebras, but Pyrola chlorantha is undoubtedly present there, judging from New Mexico collections. It is circumboreal, and present in all USA states west of the Great Plains, as well as around the Great Lakes and in New England. It follows the Rio Grande drainage about one third of the way through New Mexico, to Bernalillo Co.
