Comments

Parry's clover is quite common in all mountain regions of the Watershed, growing in association with subalpine spruce on up into tundra meadows and rill sides. Its USA distribution is restricted to the Central and Southern Rockies. It is present in the Rio Grande drainage counties of New Mexico that border Colorado (Taos and Colfax counties) but extends on down the drainage only as far as Santa Fe Co.
