- Comments
- All Watershed records of giant hyssop come from the San Juans south of the Rio Grande, usually in rock outcrops in the upper montane or subalpine, but also by streams and lakes. The presence of Agastache pallidiflora in the Watershed and the SW corner of Colorado marks the northern edge of its USA distribution, which is Arizona, New Mexico, and west Texas. The flower follows the Rio Grande drainage through New Mexico down to the Big Bend country of Texas. The flower has a wide range of variability in its features, and molecular analysis, when it comes, may well discover the currently defined species encompasses more than one species.
