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.

This small weedy plant readily colonizes anthropogenic habitats including roadsides and agricultural fields. Its exact native range is unknown, but it is widely-agreed that it has expanded greatly, especially in the East. We mark isolated populations in Montana and on the West Coast as introduced, and others as expanded as they are contiguous with its native range.
