NEED IN SITU PHOTOS. For the Watershed, there are only four records of sand gilia, the last dating 1941—from alkaline flats in association with greasewood. The habitat is right for this Southwestern plant, but would mark the extreme east edge of its range. BONAP does not accept these Alamosa Co identifications (which might be A. micromeria). They would lie at the eastern edge of the USA distribution.
