Comments

Small-leaf pussytoes is very common on the west side of the Watershed, much less collected on the east. Antennaria parvifolia seems to prefer open spaces in mixed-conifer woods. It is wide spread in the Western USA, including all the Rocky Mountain ranges and most of those in Arizona and Utah, spreading into the Great Plains. It follows the Rio Grande drainage to west Texas.
