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.
↑Notes
Different sources alternately refer to this species as being endemic to the Channel Islands, and alternately, having a range extending onto the mainland and also into Mexico. We have not been able to explain these discrepancies. In particular we do not know whether this is a result of reclassification of mainland populations into this taxon, discovery of new populations, or introduction of this plant into new areas.
