- Comments
- Of this unassuming milkvetch ("miser" means pitiful), there is only one collection from the east side of the Valley (near La Veta pass), but it is rather common on the west side, often among trees and in forest openings. Except for a few collections from Rio Arriba Co in New Mexico, the Watershed occurrences lie on the southernmost edge of the USA range, which covers the Rocky Mountain up to the Canadian border, all of Utah, and southeast Nevada and north Arizona.
