Discussion

Variety coloradoensis is known from northeastern Arizona (Apache and Navajo counties), southwestern Colorado (Dolores, La Plata, Montezuma, and San Miguel counties), and northwestern New Mexico (Rio Arriba and San Juan counties).

A decoction made from var. coloradoensis is used as a gynecological aid by the Ramah Navajo of western New Mexico (D. E. Moerman 1998).
