- Gnaphalium uliginosum shares some of the habitat of G. exilifolium and G. palustre, but in the Watershed it ranges higher in elevation, sometimes over 10,000 feet (e.g., near La Manga Pass in Conejos Co). This exotic prefers marshes and wet meadows and can also be found near the drying edges of reservoirs. Allred et al. (2020) say it is known from only one collection in Taos Co, and BONAP shows no locations in the Rio Grande drainage of either Colorado, New Mexico or Texas. But SEINet shows some 16 collections from around the Watershed: banks of the Rio Grande from Alamosa to Wagon Wheel Gap, the Baca NWR, near Cumbres and La Manga passes, Medano Creek of the north Cristos, etc. Can these all be misidentifications of G. exilifolium? G. uliginosum is native to Europe and now scattered across the northern USA states.
