- NEED IN SITU PHOTOS. Potentilla hookerian has a few Watershed locations, on both sides of the Valley: e.g., slopes of Trinchera Peak (Costilla Co, 1998); Stony pass (San Juan Co, 2003); 13 air miles SW of Creede (Mineral Co, 2003); upper slopes and summit of Del Norte Peak (Rio Grande Co, 2003). These are all tundra or subalpine locations. Note that the taxon is contested. BONAP considers it a synonym of P. rubricaulis, and FNA, while accepting P. hookeriana as legitimate, notes that its varieties share "many of the same characters with P. rubricaulis but are smaller overall." Ackerfield (2022) accepts P. hookeriana as legitimate and keys it next to P. nivea, stressing the conspicuous glands in the inflorescence of P. hookeriana. Hogan and Elliot (2022) say that the few collections from the North Cristos may be misidentifications of P. uniflora, p. 218). As for the USA distribution, FNA names Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, Utah, and Wyoming, so the Watershed locations would lie at the southern edge.
