This map is based on our research. We have checked its accuracy to Level 3 ecoregions. Although this plant occurs somewhere in each of these regions, it may only occur in a small part of some or all of them.
POWO also reports this species as native to northeast Mexico, but this does not make much sense given the rest of its range; we were unable to find any specific records of it from that region or any other sources mentioning it occurring there, so we suspect that report to be in error.
