Comments
In the Watershed, collectors have recorded only scattered occurrences of Pyrrocoma clementis, all from the western ranges, usually in high elevation meadows. These records would mark the SW corner of the USA distribution, which covers only Utah and the Rockies of Colorado and (uncommonly) Wyoming. So the Watershed locations are the only ones in the entire Rio Grande drainage.
