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 native to South America and has become invasive at various locations around the world. In a rare success story, it has been eliminated from various parts of California where it was found establishing in the wild. However, it has been more persistent in the southeastern US, although it is still rare there. This species is also introduced in Mexico, but we have yet to build this portion of its map.
