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.
↑Notes
We recommend against the use of the common name "Florida aspen" because this species is neither an aspen (Populus sp.) nor is it native to Florida. The resemblance to aspen may be related to both of these species belonging to the Malpighiales order, although within that order they are not even particularly closely related.
