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 small weedy species has expanded greatly east of its native range. We mark the southeastern population introduced because it is geographically isolated from western populations by a great distance. We have not yet figured out why there is such a large gap in this species range; it may be under-reported.
