NEED IN SITU PHOTOS. Three-flowered rush has been vouchered once from the Watershed: along the Continental Divide trail (San Juan Co, 1994). BONAP also shows Costilla Co, a location presumably in the alpine of the Culebras. Allred et al. (2020) record occurrences of Juncus triglumis in the Sangre de Cristo Mountains of northern New Mexico, by alpine bogs and mossy ponds, and in gravelly substrate. The species is circumboreal. In the USA, it follows the Rockies from Canada down through northern New Mexico, where it has been recorded only from the counties bordering Colorado, no farther down stream.
