- Comments
- The photorecord needs confirmation. Nasturtium microphyllum is not recorded from the Watershed, indeed not even from Colorado. This Asia exotic, with observations thinly scattered around the USA, has been found in New Mexico and Nebraska. The earliest USA collection was 1861. Note that in 1984, from the above photorecord location, William A. Weber collected a plant that looks identical, which he identified as N. officinale. The only other possible location in the Rio Grande drainage may be in central New Mexico, shown by BONAP.
