- NEED IN SITU PHOTORECORDS. Missouri milkvetch is common and wide spread in Colorado, and it is also wide spread in the northern counties of New Mexico, but there are few records from the Watershed. One voucher is from Conejos Co, SW of the Conejos River canyon (Conejos Co, 1992), and another is from Spanish Creek in the North Cristos (Saguache Co, 1926). Vouchers that might lie in the Watershed from Hinsdale and Archuleta (which has many records) have their location data protected. Note that Astragalus missouriensis needs the pod to separate it from A. amphioxys, both present, if uncommonly, in the Watershed. In the USA this milkvetch ranges through the Rockies and the western Great Plains, from the Canadian border to the Mexican.
