NEED IN SITU PHOTOS. Pull-up muhly has been recorded only a few times from the Watershed, around ten. Except for one observation from the Baca National Wildlife Refuge (2012), all the locations are in the west mountain ranges. Muhlenbergia filiformis prefers damp conditions in the montane. One voucher came from around the mattress bog at Cumbres pass, for instance (1965). Also the species tolerates volcanic substrate, and there are a cluster of observation from around Creede (Mineral Co). The USA distribution is all Western states, including New Mexico, where the species follows the Rio Grande drainage only through the first two counties bordering Colorado, no farther.
