Comments

The 2016 Del Norte photorecord of Gypsophila scorzonerifolia (Rio Grande Co), no doubt an escape, is the only record of this cultivated exotic in the Watershed. The plant did not persist at the location. There are no other records of it in the USA Rio Grande drainage. BONAP shows USA records of escapes scattered in a number of Western states and around the Great Lakes. For more photographs and comment, click "yes" in the Annotation field below.
