Comments
Of Lysimachia maritima there are only 8 records:—all from the Valley floor or close to it; e.g., just W of Del Norte; near the town of Blanca; 8 miles south of Alamosa; the Baca NWR; the Russell Lakes SWA; near La Jara (1939-2016). The latest record is from southwest of the Great Sand Dunes NM in unfarmed terrain (iNaturalist observation 125099881). This may be an example of a flower severely reduced by agriculture and ranching in the Watershed. So far the Watershed locations are the only ones in the entire Rio Grande drainage.
