Comments

Colorado sneezeweed is the most commonly collected Hymenoxys in the Watershed, found from foothills to montane, often along road sides. It is a Rocky Mountain plant, extending to most of Utah and Arizona, running from the Mexican border to the Canadian. It is found in the Rio Grande drainage through New Mexico into the tip of west Texas.
