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 native to Cuba, Guatemala, Belize, and southward; it has expanded its range slightly into adjacent parts of Mexico but has also been introduced across larger distances into the US, both in Southern California and the southeast.
