- Comments
- Ranunculus macounii has been fairly often collected in the Watershed, by streams shaded with aspen or willow, sometimes by irrigation ditches or farm culverts. It has not been collected from the Culebras. But it has so in New Mexico, from the Cristos and San Juans as well as the canyon of the Rio Grande itself. The farthest down stream in the Rio Grande drainage may be Otero Co, New Mexico. Its main USA distribution is all states west of the Great Plains, but not most of California, west Nevada or south Arizona.
