Comments

After B. stricta, B. fendleri has been one of the most commonly collected of Boechera in the Watersjed, from all mountain ranges. B. fendleri, or its hybrids (e.g., B. fendleri x spatifolia x texana) occur in the Rio Grande drainage of New Mexico down to the Mexico border and on east to the Big Bend country of Texas. Its USA distribution is most of Colorado, Utah, Arizona, and New Mexico, with bits of southeast Nevada and west Texas.
