Common Chickweed (Stellaria media (L.) Vill.)
USDA PLANTS treats greater chickweed (Stellaria neglecta) as a subspecies of this species, whereas we follow the convention of POWO, FNA, and BONAP in separating it. This split does not affect the range map as the range of that species in North America is entirely contained within the range of this taxon even with the narrower treatment.

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.
