Range Extent Comments

Native to Europe, Asia Minor, and North Africa; introduced to northeastern North America, California, Oregon, and other temperate regions of the world (Roth and Sadeghian, 2003).

Occurrences Comments

Introduced in California in Del Norte, Humboldt, El Dorado, Napa, Marin, Contra Costa, San Francisco, Alameda, Santa Clara, Santa Cruz, Tulare, San Bernardino, and Los Angeles Cos. (Roth and Sadeghian, 2003). It occurs in eastern Maine (2 of 101 sites) in disturbed metasedimentary cliffs in the vicinity of caribou likely representing a recent introduction (Nekola, 2008). In New York, Hotopp and Pearce (2007) report it from 14 counties as exotic.
