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.

Notes

POWO considers this species to have a broader range, extending much farther west; we have not yet resolved this inconsistency; it may be due to including other taxa in with the same species which are separated by BONAP. We use BONAP's treatment.
