DistributionWeakley's (2022) map shows it in NC, in the Piedmont. However, there is no NC specimen in SERNEC, photo on iNaturalist, or county shown on the BONAP map, though the state is shaded. Thus, the editors have no indication if it has been reliably found in NC.

Wide-ranging from southern Canada south to VA, TN, and LA as a native, and scattered in SC and GA as probable non-native. Weakley's map shows it as being of Uncertain Provenance in NC, even if there is a record somewhere.

Identification
Taxonomic CommentsMembers of the genus are often found in saline to brackish sites, but also fallow fields, waste lots, and other highly disturbed places. Each flower produces male and female parts plus a calyx; they are very small and not at all showy. Weakley's (2018) key must be used with care, and a dissecting scope is almost essential for successful identification.
