Rank Reasons
Crested Anoda (Anoda cristata) occurs as a native plant in the southwestern United States, Mexico, Cuba, Jamaica, Central and South America, where it is estimated that there are more than 1,500 occurrences. It has expanded its range and occurs as an adventive, naturalized or exotic plant in California, Colorado, the eastern United States, Europe, Japan, and Australia. Threats are unknown but likely of low impact.
Range Extent Comments
Crested Anoda (Anoda cristata) occurs as a native plant in the southwestern United States (in Arizona, New Mexico, and Texas), Mexico, Cuba, Jamaica, Central and South America. It is adventive, naturalized or exotic in California, Colorado, and the eastern United States, Europe, Japan, and Australia. Its native range extent was estimated to be 22 million square kilometers using herbarium specimens and photo-based observations documented between 1992 and 2023 (GRIN 2001, FNA 2015, Greuter and Rankin Rodríguez 2022, Weakley and the Southeastern Flora Team 2022, GBIF 2023, iNaturalist 2023, NatureServe 2023).
Occurrences Comments
By applying a 1 km separation distance to herbarium records and photo-based observations documented within its native range between 1992 and 2023, it is estimated that there are more than 1,500 occurrences rangewide (GBIF 2023, iNaturalist 2023).
Threat Impact Comments
Threats are unknown but likely of low impact; this plant has expanded its range.
