- NEED IN SITU PHOTOS. Bitter fleabane has two Watershed records: Old Woman's Creek (Rio Grande Co, 1985) and San Luis Hills east of Manassas (Conejos Co, 2014). Both are rocky dry habitats, fitting for the species. It is also recorded from the margins of the North Cristos wilderness area (Hogan & Elliot 2022), and from the Cristos of New Mexico ("uncommon," Allred et al. 2020). The USA distribution is Rocky Mountains up to the Canada, the Cascades of Washington and Oregon, and isolated locations around the Great Lakes and in Maine. The Rio Grande drainage in Colorado and New Mexico is the farthest southern reach of the species. The plants in that drainage belong to var. kamtschaticus.
