Comments
In the Watershed, garden hollyhock escapes and persists, probably in many places in the Basin and in the foothills and montane. It is just not collected or recorded. The photorecord from Del Norte shows a location where hollocks are adventitious and have reseeded themselves for eight years. The distribution map in BONAP shows this happening all around the USA, including the Rio Grande drainage down through New Mexico to the Big Bend country of Texas.
