NEED IN SITU PHOTOS. From the Watershed there are only two records of Barbarea vulgaris: west of Villa Grove on Forest Road 861, at the forest boundary toward Bonanza (Saguache Co, 1998); and along Park Creek road northwest of South Fork (Mineral Co, 1977). There have been 8 collections just west of the Watershed in Archuleta Co (1981-2020). This exotic from Asia and Europe has been collected from most counties in Colorado, and from counties bordering the Watershed in New Mexico. More occurrences in the Watershed may be expected. It occurs in all states of the USA except for Arizona, Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Florda.
