- Physaria acutifolia is an uncommon Physaria in the Watershed, with only five records. Three come from between Creede and Wagon Wheel Gap (Mineral Co), one from below Valley View Hot Springs in the northern Cristos (Saguache Co), and one from North Cochetopa pass (Saguache Co—see iNaturalist observation #227014830, 3 July 2024). The last is not a definitive identification. The USA distribution of the species covers the Southern and Central Rockies and the Intermountain region. It follows the Rio Grande drainage only as far as Rio Arriba Co, New Mexico. Note that P. acutifolia and P. floribunda, both double bladderpods, can be easily confused, and that they are sympatric around the Creede area in Mineral Co.
