Comments
Erigeron leiomerus is not uncommon in high rocky meadows and scree fields, in all Watershed ranges except for the Culebras. Note that this Erigeron is present in the north Cristos of New Mexico, in Rio Arriba, Taos, and Colfax counties. Sharples (2017) found it common on rocky alpine sites of the South San Juans Wilderness Area. Rockslide fleabane is found in the high country of Utah, Arizona, and the Central and Southern Rockies. BONAP shows Valencia and Socorro counties in New Mexico, so it may continue down the Rio Grande drainage that far.
