It is native to western central USA. It is found in the states of Colorado, New Mexico and Wyoming.[2]
The genus name of Harbouria is in honour of Jared Patterson Harbour (1831–1917), an American plant collector in the Rocky Mountains of North America.[3] The Latin specific epithet of trachypleura is derived from two Greek words; τραχύς (trakhús) meaning 'rough' and πλευρά (pleurá), πλευρόν (pleurón) meaning 'rib, side'. It was first described and published in Rev. N. Amer. Umbell. on page 125 in 1888.[2]
