La diversidad de plantas vasculares de las montañas volcánicas de South San Juan del sureste de Colorado (condados de Archuleta y Conejos) se inventarió mediante la colección de 1151 especímenes testigo durante partes de los veranos de 2013, 2014 y 2016. Se documentaron en la región un total de 744 especies de 84 familias mediante estas colecciones y otras históricas, indicando que se puede encontrar cerca de un tercio de la flora de Colorado flora en estas montañas. Las familias con más especies en el área de estudio fueron Asteraceae, Poaceae, y Cyperaceae, como es típico en los climas templados del hemisferio norte. El componente florístico dominante del área comprende especies con una distribución en el oeste Norte Americano, hasta el circumboreal, generalizada Norte Americana, y las especies endémicas del sur de las montañas Rocosas también comprenden amplias porciones de la flora. El desierto South San Juan alberga una flora casi pristina pre-Columbina, mediante fronteras del desierto actualmente excluye 170 especies nativas que viven en las montañas South San Juan Mountains. Noventa y cinco colecciones son nuevas para el área de estudio, y 39 de ellas representan nuevos testigos para los condados tanto de Archuleta como Conejos.
