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.

This species is native to much, but not all of South America, and is now widely found north of its native range through Central America and into the US. We mark the entirety of its new range Introduced because there are several major gaps in its range, some in South America, and more between the US and Mexico and an additional gap between the West Coast populations. This species also functions ecologically like an invasive species introduced across major geographic divides. We have yet to build the portion of its map in Mexico.
