- NEED IN SITU PHOTOS. For the Watershed, there are only two locations for short-styled bluebell: Cumbres Pass (1947, 1948) and Rock Creek SW of Monte Vista in Rio Grande Co (1940). The Watershed locations are on the southeastern corner of the plant's range, which is scattered through parts of Nevada, Utah, Wyoming, and western Colorado. Allred et al. (2020) record no observations from New Mexico, noting that the reports of it from the state are M. fendleri var. fendleri. Note that the presence of Watershed M. brevistyla in herbaria may be larger or smaller than currently catalogued because most of the specimens were determined before Nazaire and Hufford's 2014 revision of Mertensia.
