- NEED IN SITU PHOTOS. There are two locations for Reseda luteola, or dyer's rocket, a mignonette introduced from the Old World traditionally cultivated for its bright yellowdye: Saguache Co, La Garita Creek (2004, Flaig and Komarek) and Costilla Co, 2.2 miles west of Mesita (2001). The first may be a misidentifications of Reseda lutea. That La Garita Creek location was visited in 2019 and only Reseda lutea found. There are no records from farther down the Rio Grande drainage. The scattered locations around the USA for Reseda luteola probably represent escapes from cultivation or from ornamental plantings. See ANNOTATED page.
