Comments

All records of Antennaria corymbosa are from the west side of the Valley, and none from the foothills or Basin. This pussytoes is fairly common in the montane on up into tundra meadows (Sharples, 2017), although more common west of the Divide in the San Juan drainage. The Rio Grande drainage records (extending into the bordering counties of New Mexico: Rio Arriba, Taos, and Colfax) mark the southeastern corner of the USA distribution, which covers most of the montane West.
