- NEED IN SITU PHOTOS. Lepidium perfoliatum has been collected only once from the Watershed, from the Rio Grande floodplain in Alamosa (1976). This occurrence is not shown in Ackerfield (2022) or BONAP (2022). Quite possibly it was ephemeral. The species, exotic, has been often collected just west of the Watershed in Saguache and Archuleta counties, as well as in Taos and Rio Arriba counties of New Mexico, and may be expected in the Watershed. It prefers ruderal ground such as road sides. It is wide spread in every state of the USA west of the Great Plains, with a scattering of isolated occurrences in the Great Plains and eastward.
