This tentative map is based on our own research. It may have limited data on Canada and/or Mexico, and there is some subjectivity in our assignment of plants as introduced vs. expanded. Read more in this blog post.
Although this plant occurs somewhere in each of these regions, it may only occur in a small part of some or all of them.
We marked the California populations as Expanded because they are relatively close to the native populations in Arizona, but they are also separated by enough of a geographic divide that they could probably also be marked as Introduced. This species is also native to Mexico, but we have yet to build this portion of its map.
