This is known mostly in or near the southern Appalachians, but there are disjunct populations in southeastern states as far south as n. Fla. (K,W). There has been confusion with Z. aurea (and with Thaspium trifoliatum in name); see W for a detailed key. No verified colls. of Z. trifoliata from Ky. have been located despite several colls. initially identified as this species (M). However, there have been a few relatively authoritative reports of Z. trifoliata (e.g. Gl, Cr), and it is known from adjacent counties of w. Va.
