content: Locality data updated Jan 2023 after receiving the following email: Your record has a precise locality of Columbine and it was collected by M. (Merritt) Cary. The error is in the District/County field. The museum has this as Arapahoe/Jefferson but it should be Routt County. Merritt Cary was in northwest Colorado in what is now Routt and Moffat counties in August 1906. He detailed that in his 1911 publication which the cover page is attached. Columbine (while a location in Jefferson County, CO) is also a small town in Routt County north of Steamboat Springs. That is exactly where Merritt Cary (the collector) would have been in August 1906 and that is confirmed in the 1911 publication. In addition, there are notes (remarks) associated with your record of "8,500." In that scan associated with this record, it seems like numbers in those remarks should be elevations. Columbine in Routt County, CO is right around 8,500ft in elevation, so another corroborating source of information. Brian Holmes Colorado Parks and Wildlife
