- NEED IN SITU PHOTOS. For camel thorn there are two locations in the Watershed: N and NE of Center, and N of Hooper (1955-1958, Saguache Co). These plants may have been cultivated as ornamentals. Since then there has been no indication that the exotic persists in the Watershed, although it is often listed as invasive for the region. It is on Colorado's A list of "noxious weeds." In a scattered fashion, in fields, rocky hillsides, road sides, etc., it has nativized down the Rio Grande drainage in New Mexico to the Mexican border.
