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 plant belongs to a group of plants where there is both considerable taxonomic uncertainty, and uncertainty about the original native range. We derived this map from BONAP's map, but it is best taken with a grain of salt; BONAP marks the Arkansas reports dubious. POWO lumps this species in with other taxa and reports a much larger native range for the total taxon.
