NEED IN SITU PHOTOS. This higher elevation locoweed has been rarely collected in the Watershed: Alamosa Co, Raspberry Canyon, 2 specimens (1998), and Saguache Co, 3 specimens, Dry Gulch, NW of Saguache (1999). The locations fall within a chain of records running from the central mountains of Colorado through north-central New Mexico (including Taos Co). The centers of the USA distribution are high elevation locations in Nevada, Utah, and western Wyoming.
