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.
This species, native mostly to North and East Africa, has also been introduced in northern Mexico adjacent to its range in the southern US; we have yet to build this portion of its map.
