Martin and Hutchins (1981) illustrate a considerably expanded range over that mapped by Sanders (1987), the species according to them occurring in Bernalillo and Otero counties, in addition to southwestern counties. This expanded distribution must be considered as one proposed before Agastache was better understood through Sanders careful study. Henrickson and Johnson (1997) record the species from Hueco Tanks and the Franklin Mountains in western Texas, and cite south-central New Mexico as the remainder of the range, but they do not indicate the species to be known in Mexico. Wooton and Standley cite the range of the species correctly as "mountains of western Texas and southern New Mexico, but then give part of the range for New Mexico as "headwaters of the Pecos," an inconsistency (if not outright error) in citation of range. Habitat is somewhat restricted, that is, on igneous rock on north-facing or northeast-facing slopes at the ecotone between desert and scrub. No authors note rarity.
