Comments
There are only three Watershed recorded locations for Cryptantha minima: Conejos Co, one collection located only as “Conejos” (Ramaley, 1936); three collections from Alamosa Co, on Hwy 150 from Fort Garland to Great Sand Dunes (Weber, 1994), which is listed as Costilla Co but actually would be Alamosa Co; and a photorecord from Conejos Co, confluence of Rio de los Pinos and Cumbres Creek (McDonald, 2020). In the USA, this is a Rocky Mountain plant, present from the Canadian border down to the Mexican, following the Rio Grande drainage through New Mexico and Texas down to the Big Bend country.
