- Comments
- In the Watershed, Corydalis aurea subsp. aurea has been much less collected than C. aurea subsp. occidentalis. Subsp. aurea tends to be bushier than subsp. occidentalis, with a marginal ring around the seed. It also tends to grow in wooded habitats and not within muncipalities. There are five locations: 3 miles SW of South Fork (Rio Grande Co, 1946), 10 miles SW of Creede (Mineral Co, 1941), near the entrance to the Sand Dunes NP (Alamosa Co, 1991), in the San Isabel Creek drainage of the north Cristos (Saguache Co 1995), and Luder's Creek cpgd (Saguache Co, 2016). It follows the Rio Grande drainage through New Mexico into Texas.
