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 is also native to Canada; we have yet to build this portion of its map.
↑Notes
We recommend against the use of the common name "purple milkwort" to refer to this species because that name more frequently refers to field milkwort (Senega sanguinea), a species that overlaps with this in range and also has purple flowers. "Racemed milkwort" is both more widely-used and unambiguous.
