Comments
Astragalus multiflorus, usually under the name A. tenellus, has been recorded from north of the Rio Grande on both sides of the Valley: around Wagon Wheel Gap (Mineral Co), on Moon pass and on Cochetopa Pass (Saguache Co), near Bonanza (Saguache Co), and E of Alder in the north Cristos (Saguache Co). The Moon pass locality was collected in 2004 and 2021. Ackerfield shows Costilla Co, with vouchers not found in SEINet. This is a Rocky Mountain and Intermountain milkvetch, continuing two counties down the Rio Grande drainage of New Mexico.
