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.

This species is widely agreed to be native to South and Central America, with a spotty distribution from southeast Mexico southward. BONAP marks it as adventive in the US, but FSUS reports it as "probably native" everywhere from TX to SC, with a non-persistent record from Maryland. Our map is based on FSUS' assertion. We have yet to build the portion of our map in Mexico.
