- NEED IN SITU PHOTOS. In the Watershed, there are only a few collections. The earliest is SE of Stony Pass in San Juan Co, collected by Sue Komarek in 1995; the next from that site and from Sheep Mountain, collected by Tim Hogan and Luke Tembrock in 2007. For a vivid description of these second finds, see Hogan and Tembrock, 2021. The flower is endemic to Colorado, considered rare, and some locations in San Juan and Hinsdale counties are protected, so may (or may not) add to the locations in the Watershed. It is most often collected from rocky barren alpine flats in the vicinity of Lake City. The modelling of Decker, et al. (2021), based in part on proximity to volcanic tuff, extends the likely presence of the plant 47 miles east of the latest element occurrence [EO] records, a presence that would include Watershed territory.
