- Comments
- Although ollected much less often in the Watershed than Gnaphalium exilifolium, G. palustre prefers the same habitats: floodplains, seeps, “moist open ground,” dried pond and lake margins—although generally at lower elevations. In the USA western marsh cudweed is more widely spread than G. exilifolium, found in all states west of the plains. It follows the Rio Grande drainage only as far as Sandoval Co, New Mexico.
