- NEED IN SITU PHOTOS. In the Watershed pointtip twinpod has proved a fairly common Physaria of montane rocky slopes and sometimes foothill pinyon-juniper hillsides. It has been repeatedly collected along Hwy 149 from South Fork to Creede and W of La Veta Pass (where Rydberg and Vreeland’s 1900 holotype came from). The USA distribution is restricted to western Colorado and northern New Mexico, where Physaria floribunda is found in Rio Arriba and Taos counties but no farther south in the Rio Grande drainage). Note that the distinction between P. floribunda and P. acutifolia, whose ranges may overlap in the Watershed, is minimal. Fruits have to be present and mature to make a determination.
