Notes

Native to North America, but a widespread urbanophil alien throughout the world ( Takács et al. 2020). In Hungary, it was first found in 2013 in Veszprém (western Hungary) ( Wolf and Király 2014). Occurs rarely in the urban flora of Budapest, especially in garden stores. Studies suggest that this species is a stowaway of the ornamental plant trade ( Takács et al. 2020).
