Comments

In the Watershed, cutleaf evening-primrose is the most often recorded Oenothera, found on both sides of the Valley, in sagebrush flats and rocky slopes, along streams, among scattered conifers, along roads, in barrow pits, occasionally in towns. Oenothera coronipifolia is a Rocky Mountain and desert Southwest plant, that follows the Rio Grande drainage of New Mexico southward to about Santa Fe Co.
