- Comments
- In the Watershed showy draba is largely confined to the south San Juans, with one collection from the Garitas (above Creede). It is more common in the San Juan drainage, but records from the Watershed are frequent. The plant grows in a variety of habitats, from dry hillsides and cottonwood groves to bare, rocky tundra. Its USA range is confined to the Southern Rockies of New Mexico and Colorado, with a few records from south Wyoming. In New Mexico, it has been recorded from the Rio Grande drainage down to the border with Texas.
