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.
BONAP reports this hybrid as "Native" but we do not think this designation makes sense since one of its parents is non-native; we mark it Invasive as we do for any hybrid with one parent not native to North America.
↑Notes
This hybrid is usually sterile and rarely bears fruit.
