- Comments
- This is the northernmost var. of the species, extending north to New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Michigan in the ne. U.S. Although the exact pre-Columbian range is obscure because of the species' weedy nature, Flora of the Southeastern U.S. (Weakley et al. 2026) considers it introduced in the Atlantic states. However, we have mapped it with "Uncertain" status due to the ambiguities involved.
- Habitat
- Fields, roadsides, floodplain clearings, and other open, disturbed habitats. Frequent in the Coastal Plain and Piedmont; rare in the mountains.
- Native Status
- Native
