NEED IN SITU PHOTOS. Saguache Co has provided only one record of Patterson's locowed, collected by Hobey Dixon in 1983, by Hwy 114 and La Garita Road—so perhaps adventitious. BONAP shows Conejos Co, with no vouchers in SEINet. The species is found in Arizona, Utah, Colorado (mainly on the west slope), and New Mexico, where it is recorded from the Rio Grande drainage close to the Colorado border, but not farther south.
