- Comments
- In the USA Bailey's yucca is basically a Four Corners plant. There is one voucher of Yucca baileyi from the Watershed, from Masonic Park on the Rio Grande just upstream from South Fork (Rio Grande Co, 1968). BONAP also shows Conejos Co, with no vouchers in SEINet. Conejos Co is also supported by recent photorecords (2019). The locations would add Conejos to counties indicated in Ackerfield (2022). The location is creditable since the species has been recorded from Archuleta Co and from the three New Mexico counties that border the Watershed: Rio Arriba, Taos, and Colfax. The species follows the Rio Grande drainage from there to Socorro Co, New Mexico, but no farther down river.
