Florida Keys History and Distribution: Not reported for the Florida Keys by John Kunkel Small in 1913. Collected in 1966 by Robert W. Long and colleagues on Big Pine Key (
2063 USF). Reported by Long & Lakela (1971) as naturalized in coastal areas in the Florida Keys. Sparingly naturalized and perhaps not well established.
