Comments
There are only two Watershed vouchered locations for Erigeron eatonii, all a little S of Poncha Pass, in sagebrush. In addition there two photorecords, one from SW of South Fork (Rio Grande Co, 2020), the other from Pool Table Road north of Wagonwheel Gap (Mineral Co, 2019, iNaturalist observation #29908497). These locations would be close to the farthest east in the USA distribution of this predominantly Great Basin and high plateau species. The species is uncommon in Rio Arriba Co of New Mexico, and not recorded any farther south.
