Notes

Originates from North America, but a widespread alien throughout the world, especially as an urban weed ( Molnár et al. 2020). First found in Hungary near Szeged (southern Hungary) ( Bátori et al. 2012), but recently it was found in the urban flora of many Hungarian cities and towns. Widespread in Budapest. Studies suggest that this species is a stowaway of the ornamental plant trade ( Molnár et al. 2020).
