- Comments
- In the Watershed Platanthera obtusata has been collected very infrequently. The plant is difficult to detect, small and often buried in confier understory. There are 8 records from the south San Juans (only from Conejos and Mineral counties) and 1 from the north Cristos (Saguache Co). The Shaw Lake photorecord would add Mineral to counties indicated in Ackerfield (2022) and BONAP (2022). The species follows the Rio Grande drainage only as far as Taos Co, New Mexico. Its USA distribution follows the Rocky Mountains to the Canadian border and includes the mountain ranges of Washington State and the Great Lakes region on up into Maine.
