Introduced or Not Present

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 widely native throughout Mexico; BONAP reports it as introduced in one county of Alabama, but we found no other sources listing it so we do not know whether or not that is a valid record. We have yet to build the portion of the map in Mexico.
