Comments
Sanddune wallflower (misleadingly named) is ubiquitous in the Watershed, present from Basin to alpine, one of the Watershed’s most collected flowers. Its USA range is primarily west of the Great Plains, but it is adventive and scattered in many states east of the Plains. It follows the Rio Grande drainage to the Big Bend country of Texas.
