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.
This species only has scattered introductions throughout each of the regions where it is marked introduced; to our knowledge there are only two sites where it has been introduced.
↑Notes
This species is not in the USDA Plants Database. POWO reports this species as introduced in New York; this likely refers to two records reported in the New York Plant Atlas in the Bronx; however those records note this species as "not naturalised" so for our purposes this species does not occur in the wild in that region.
