Comments
This alpine rock-jasmine of the Watershed has been fairly often collected from talus and rocky tundra slopes of the north Cristos and Culebras. Ackerfield and BONAP show Conejos Co, which suggests a presence in the San Juans, but there are no herbarium vouchers in SEINet from the west side of the Valley as yet. Supporting the Conejos Co citation is the 2014 photorecord from Grayback Mountain in Rio Grande Co. Note that there are records from both sides of the Rio Grande drainage from the northern New Mexico counties of Rio Arriba, Taos, and Colfax. These mark the southernmost edge of the USA distribution, which is scattered through the Rocky Mountains up to the Canadian border. Note that Plants of the World and Ackerfield (2022) name this taxon A. lehmanniana—a revision not yet accepted by FNA or BONAP.
