- NEED IN SITU PHOTOS There are no vouchers of New England aster from the Watershed. But iNaturalist has a number of observations, one from the town of Alamosa and three from the Conejos River watershed. However, only one of these iNaturalist photos shows enough features to make a determination of Symphyotrichum novae-angliae reasonable: taken by Amber Marie on Trujillo Meadows dam, 2 July 2018, elev. ± 10,000' (Conejos Co). Allred et al. (2020) show the species from a "few scattered sites" in New Mexico, some locations in Taos and Santa Fe counties, in the Rio Grande drainage bordering Colorado. BONAP also shows Rio Arriba county. The native distribution of S. novae-angliae is centered in the upper Mid-West and New England states, with scattered locations in the Rockies from Montana to New Mexico (but no farther down the Rio Grande drainage). Note that cultivated varieties of the species are readily available.
