NEED IN SITU PHOTOS. In the Watershed, this milkvetch has been fairly often collected but from a confined area in the north, from the South Sawatch Range NW of Villa Grove east to the NW slopes of the Cristos (e.g., Raspberry Creek). It is recorded from the Rio Grande drainage in the southern two-thirds of New Mexico, as well as around the Big Bend area of Texas. The USA range is extensive, covering the Rockies from Canada on south, and east to the Mississippi River.
