- NEED IN SITU PHOTOS. Of this broomrape there are three Watershed collections, all in the same vicinity of Saguache Co: the Great Sand Dunes (1947 and 1965, Harrington coll) and Baca National Wildlife Refuge (2006, Regensberg coll). Note that these SEINet herbarium records are not accepted by BONAP, and Ackerfield (2022) does not locate this species in Colorado. The USA distribution centers in Nevada, with locations in parts of neighboring states, primarily California, southern Oregon, and Utah. So the Watershed locations would mark the eastern edge of the range. Importantly, Allred et al. (2020) record locations in Rio Arriba and Taos counties of New Mexico, bordering the Watershed. Aphyllon corymbosum does not follow the Rio Grande drainage farther down stream. Note that the genus name Aphyllon was proposed by Adam C. Schneider (2016), who confines the genus Orobanche to Old World species.
