- Comments
- From the Watershed there are surprisingly few vouchers for Chenopodium album—only 7: Conejos Co, Cat Creek road (1983) and Osier Park (2004); Rio Grande Co, Rock Creek (1935) and the Rio Grande floodplain by Monte Vista (1974); Saguache Co, upper Saguache Ranger Station (1916), NE or Hooper (1997), Coolbroth Canyon (2003), and Medano Creek (1981). BONAP shows C. album in Costilla and Alamosa counties, with no vouchers in SEINet. Note that in the Watershed the fruit is required for determination. Around the USA lambsquarter is the most familiar of Chenopidium species and is present in all states. It follows the Rio Grande drainage down to the Gulf of Mexico.
