- Comments
- Hymenopappus filifolius is common all around the Valley, in dry, rocky, foothill terrain. In the USA, it is found from the eastern foothills of the Sierra Nevadas to the western Great Plains. The species has many varieties (Ackerfield 2022 lists 6 from Colorado). From the Watershed, H. filifolius var. parvulus has been recorded often between Creede and Wagon Wheel Gap in Mineral Co (1937-1988), and H. filifolius var. polycephalus a number of times from the north Cristos, La Garitas, and the south San Juans (1998-2004). But by far the most Watershed collections are of H. filifolius var. cinereus (1988-2004). Varieties aside, H. filifolius follows the Rio Grande drainage through New Mexico to the Mexican border but not farther on down stream
