Distribution

Known from 6 counties in AZ and 6 counties in NM.  Also from Sonora, Mexico. (SEINet 2021)

Remarks

Occurs near perennial springs, in wet meadows or along stream sides in canyons, in moist, organic soils.  Fire seems to not have impacted the species in the Gila NF due to its preferred habitat along moist stream and in wet meadows. The range has expanded as plants previously thought to have been R. occidentalis were identified as R. orthoneurus.
