Comments

Nodding onion is widespread and common around the Watershed, but there are no collections from the Culebras. There is little doubt that it occurs there, however, given the wide spread locations in the Cristos of New Mexico. Its USA distribution is concentrated in the Rockies, from the Canadian to the Mexican borders, and scattered throughout most of the rest of the USA, excepting California, Nevada, and most of the Plains.
