NEED IN SITU PHOTOS. For American germander there are only two Watershed locations: “Cumbres” (W. C. Ferril, 1902); and 1 mile S of Hwy 160 between Del Norte and Monte Vista (B. H. M. Mooers, 1984). The second location involves two specimens given different georeferences but the same day and habitat description—open grassy ravine in pinyon-juniper. All three vouchers are identified as Teucrium canadense var. occidentale. In the USA, this germander is common from the eastern Plains on east. Elsewhere it seems to be scattered. It has been recorded here and there along the Rio Grande drainage all the way to the Gulf (the only drainage county shown from New Mexico is Bernalillo).
