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 grape-like plant spreads by bird-distributed seeds. Because it looks similar to other plants, including the introduced porcelain-berry, it is probably under-reported. We marked new populations in the northeast as expanded because of proximity to its native range, and the west coast population as introduced because of its isolation.
