This does not look anything like the other sightings for A. powellii in CNM, the leaves are wrong, the flowers are wrong, and this one is sprawling, not erect like the other 2 sightings.

I think I have another sighting of this species from a different time, so I will upload that as well.

Mmmmm, I agree, but A.powellii was the best contender from other wildflowers in my opinion. I'll check some other plant categories (Climbers, other shrubs etc.) but I think given this is a historical record I'll list it as inconclusive.

I have loaded another sighting of the same species taken the same day but in a different location and with a different camera. May be helpful - can see hairs on stems, backs of leaves, etc.

Looks a bit like a Dysphania ...

Mmmmmm, after quite some thorough revision I think this and the other sighting you uploaded could be a Mentha sp, probably M.pulegium........... :)
