- 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 disturbed habitats 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 in Rockingham Co.; in lawn at Shenandoah National Park air quality station, Madison County. 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.
