Physaria acutifolia is an uncommon Physaria in the Watershed, with only four records. Three come from between Creede and Wagon Wheel Gap in Mineral Co, the other from below Valley View Hot Springs in the northern Cristos. The USA distribution covers the Southern and Central Rockies and the Intermountain region. The species follows the Rio Grande drainage only as far as Rio Arriba Co, New Mexico. See Annotated Page. Note that P. acutifolia and P. floribunda, both double bladderpods, can be easily confused. See Annotated Page.
