Rank Reasons

Anemone berlandieri occurs in northern Mexico and south central and eastern U.S.A. It is most abundant in the midwestern prairies. It is rare in the east, where it is found in scattered, highly isolated disjunct occurrences from Virginia south to Florida and west to Alabama.

Range Extent Comments

Anemone berlandieri occurs in northern Mexico and the south central and eastern U.S.A. (FNA 1997). While primarily a species of the midwestern prairies, there are scattered disjunct occurrences from Virginia south to Florida and west to Alabama (Weakley 2020). The species is attributed to northern Mexico (FNA 1997) but included in other floras as Anemone heterophylla, a synonym of A. berlandieri in FNA (Villaseñor 2016).

Occurrences Comments

A substantial portion of the species range is made up of highly isolated, disjunct occurrences. While in states, like Texas, it is so common that it is difficult to estimate the number of occurrences (iNaturalist 2022, SEINet 2022).
