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 species is also native to southeastern Mexicon into the tropics, but its range in Mexico is discontiguous with its range in the US; we have yet to build this part of its map.
