NEED IN SITU PHOTOS. For Robbins's milkvetch there are only two Watershed locations: the Rio Grande Reservoir (Hinsdale Co, 1970), and somewhat south of Poncha Pass (Saguache Co, 1998). It prefers open forest grassy slopes. It has been recorded from Taos Co in New Mexico but no farther south in the Rio Grande drainage. The USA distribution ranges on north, in scattered locales of the Rockies.
