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.

Different sources alternatively report this as native and introduced in Florida; we go with BONAP's treatment, marking it as native. This species may also be native to Mexico; we have not yet researched or built this portion of its range map.
