- NEED IN SITU PHOTOS. Of lesser burdock, there is only one record from the Watershed, from the Baca National Wildlife Refuge in Saguache Co (2006). The other Watershed SEINet voucher—from "Buckthorn Creek" NW of "Massonville" in "Conejos Co" (1971)—is actually from Buckhorn Creek in Latimer Co. Ackerfield (2022) shows Conejos Co, but this distribution point may refer to the Latimer Co collection. Arctium minus is on Colorado's C list of "noxious weeds." This Eurasian exotic has been found in every state of the USA except for Texas and Florida. It follows the Rio Grand drainage through New Mexico but not into Texas.
