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.

↑Notes

We recommend against the use of the term "desert polygala" because it references a scientific genus. Most newer authorities have reclassified this species out of that genus and into Rhinotropis, making that common name misleading or confusing. "Milkwort" is a common name for plants now classified in a number of genera, making that a better choice of common name.
