Comments
FNA recognized two subspecies (ssp. armeria in North America) but the more recent and very comprehensive molecular study of the genus by Fassou et al. (2022, PhytoKeys 196: 91-214) did not recognize any infraspecific taxa in D. armeria. Neither do a great many taxonomic and floristic resources in wide use in North America.

Fields, roadsides, clearings, and other open, disturbed habitats. Frequent throughout.
