NEED IN SITU PHOTOS. There are three herbarium vouchers for Herrickia glauca possibly from the Watershed, dated 1949 and 1951. They are located at "Cumbres pass" and "Cumbres range," which could or could not be within the Watershed. There are many collections from just west of the Divide in Archuleta, Mineral, and Saguache counties. Note that a number of collections from New Mexico (e.g. in Taos and Rio Arriba counties) fall within the Rio Grande drainage. So the species should be looked for in the Southern San Juans of the Watershed. The USA distribution covers most of Wyoming and Utah as well as western Colorado, northern Arizona, and the northwest corner of New Mexico.
