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.

VASCAN reports this species as introduced in Saskatchewan, whereas POWO reports it as native there. However, FNA claims that reports of this species from Saskatchewan are actually Solanum emulans. However, it is hard to reconcile what this means because many sources, including BONAP and USDA PLANTS do not even list Solanum emulans.

Notes

We recommend against the use of the common name "deadly nightshade" because it is ambiguous, potentially referring to many different plants in the Solanaceae (nightshade) family.
