"In sandy soil on the Cimarron," Wislizenus in 1846. 



This may have been collected in New Mexico, but it seems doubtful. Wislizenus's 

 party crossed the Cimarron, according to his map, in about latitude 37° 10', longitude 

 102° W, or in Kansas. However, there are several branches of the Cimarron, some 

 of them in New Mexico, and this Talinum may have been gotten in New Mexican 

 territory.
