The Grayback photorecords of Sagina caespitosa (2016, 2019) would be the only observations from the Watershed, and the only ones in the entire Rio Grande drainage. In Colorado there are a number of vouchers from Boulder, Clear Creek, Latimer, and Park counties (1892-2016). Note that FNA does not accept these records as S. caespitosa, which they locate north of the USA, apparently including the Colorado observations in S. saginoides. BONAP does accept them as S. caespitosa, drawing a USA distribution isolated in Colorado.
