Comments
In the Watershed, Weber's oreocarya is ommon but only locally, on steep foothill slopes and sometimes road cuts It has been found only on the west side of the Valley. The species is endemic to Colorado, and would be endemic to the Colorado watershed of the Rio Grande except for several locations just to the west of the Continental Divide, for instance at Cochetopa pass.
