- NEED IN SITU PHOTOS. From the Watershed there are eight vouchers labelel "Cymopterus montanus." None are clearly Vesper montanus, and only two belong to the genus Vesper. Ackerfield accepts none of these determinations as V. montanus and perhaps re-determines some of them as Cymopterus anisatus or longilobus. Other possibilities are Vesper bulbosus and V. constancei. BONAP, however, locates V. montanus in San Juan, Saguache, and Alamosa counties. Note that V. montanus is wide spread in the Southern Rockies and eastern Plains, and in New Mexico there are locations in the northern border counties of Rio Arriba, Taos, and Colfax. It follows the Rio Grande drainage as far as Sierra Co, New Mexico.
