- Comments
- There are many records of Phacelia heterophylla from the south San Juans but only a few from the Cristos. Wand phacelia is a mid-elevation species that typically occupies forest openings. In New Mexico the species follows the Rio Grande drainage from the border with Colorado to the border with Mexico, but there are no records from farther down stream. The species is present in Western USA states, absent only from southern California and most of Nevada, Wyoming, and Montana.
