Comments

Sticky gilia is the Watershed’s most collected Aliciella, common on both sides of the Valley in xeric habitats from foothill into the alpine. The one Lower Basin record of Aliciella pinnatifida came from the Rio Grande gorge at the New Mexico border. The flower has a USA distribution constricted to Utah, Wyoming, Colorado, and northern New Mexico, where it extends four counties down the Rio Grande drainage.
