- Comments
- A European species otherwise known from the Northeast, Great Lake states, and adjacent Canadian provinces but reaching as far south as Pennsylvania and Illinois. The presence of this species in a disturbed habitat at moderate elevation suggests large areas of potential habitat. It was introduced into eastern Maine in the 18th or 19th centuries (Downie & McNeill, Rhodora v.90).
- Habitat
- Weedy, open corridor along mowed Forest Service road just west of wildlife clearing. Associates include a mix of weedy native and introduced taxa. Voss (1996) describes habitats in Michigan as lawns, clearings, trails, roadsides, and old railroad grades. FNA (2019) lists pastures, scrub, and marshy places.
