This map is based on our research. We have checked its accuracy to Level 3 ecoregions. 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 agreed to be native to the central to interior southwestern US and Mexico. We mark the California population Introduced because it is isolated from the native range by long distances and geographic divides. We mark the eastern range Expanded because it is mostly contiguous with the native range and, at the easternmost edges, separated by much shorter distances and fewer geographic divides.
