YES Mary E. McDonald: Conejos Co, Continental Divide trail at Cumbres Pass 9 July 2021

Comments

The one herbarium voucher of Ligusticum filicinum is Ramaley’s 1936 collection near Ft Garland (no photo); Ackerfield (2015) and BONAP (2022) show Conejos Co, with no vouchers in SEINet. The 2021 Cumbres Pass photorecord supports a presence in Conejos Co. This is a Northern Rockies species, and the Watershed occurrences would mark nearly the southernmost limit of its distribution, although there are two records from the northern Rio Grande drainage mountains (east side) of New Mexico.
