NEED IN SITU PHOTOS. For lovage there is one location in the Watershed, near Conejos, a house plot, the plant collected in 1983 and 1984. This annual is sometimes cultivated in herb gardens. Evidence that levisticum officinale can escape and survive in the wild is based on a tiny scattering of records around the USA. The only other Rio Grande drainage occurrence was from a pasture near Taos, New Mexico (1923).
