Comments

A high-elevation species, Erigeron glacialis has been occasionally but steadily collected from all the mountain ranges of the Watershed, east and west, north and south. Glacial fleabane is present in high country of the USA from the Rockies on west to the Cascades. It follows the Rio Grande drainage down through New Mexico to Otero Co but not into Texas.
