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.
BONAP reports this species as "Adventive", a designation they usually use for plants native somewhere in the Americas that have been introduced or expanded their range into new places. However our research shows this species is introduced everywhere the Americas, and is native only to Africa, South to Southeast Asia, and Oceania. This species is also introduced in Mexico but we have yet to build this portion of its map.
