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
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.
