- Comments
- In the Watershed, Ranunculus alismifolius is found in wet meadows and forest understory, up into the tundra, sometimes in large patches. All records are from the San Juans south of of the Rio Grande (where it barely extends down into Rio Arriba Co of New Mexico, but no farther down the Rio Grande drainage). In Colorado this is mainly a west-slope plant with only the Watershed as a protrusion into the east slope. That protrusion marks the southeast corner of the USA distribution, which is all states west of the Great Plains.
