YES Mary E. McDonald: Conejos Co, between CR D5 and FSR 103(1)C, 17 Sept 2017; 20 Aug 2021

Comments

According to BONAP, the distribution of pointed gumweed is limited and disjunct, one area in southeast Colorado and extreme northeast New Mexico, the other area in the western counties of Colorado, southeast corner of Utah, and northeast corner of Arizona. None of this distribution falls within the Watershed. However, the Conejos photorecords (2017, 2021) document the first observation from the Colorado Watershed, indeed, from the whole USA Rio Grande drainage. They would add Conejos to countires indicated by Ackerfield (2022) and BONAP (2022)
