- Comments
- In the Watershed there are only four locations for Pectis angustifolia: vacant lot in the town of Alamosa (Alamosa Co, 1989); “San Luis Hills,” “locally abundant” (Conejos Co, 1999); near Old Woman Creek (Saguache Co, 2014); and one kilometer north of Mountain Home Reservoir (Costilla Co, iNaturalist observation, 6 Aug 2022, Leslie Haynes coll). The third is a photorecord that would add Saguache Co to counties indicated in Ackerfield (2022) and BONAP (2022). The fourth would add Costilla Co. Yet the species is present in nearly all the counties of Arizona and New Mexico. It follows the Rio Grande drainage from Rio Arriba, New Mexico, to the Gulf of Mexico. Pectis angustifolia is primarily distributed in Arizona, New Mexico, eastern Colorado, and southwestern Texas. Note that there are other species of Pectis in the Rio Grande drainage of southern New Mexico and Texas: P. cylindrica, P. filipes, P. papposa, and P. prostrata.
