NEED IN SITU PHOTOS. From the Watershed there is only one record of jimsonweed, dated 1982, “Ca. 7 miles east of La Jara, introduced weed along Norton Drain.” In Colorado, the few collections of this exotic are from the Front Range. The USA distribution is concentrated east of the Mississippi, with scattered records from all states west of there except Wyoming.
