This southern weedy annual of damp sites is widespread on the Gulf Coastal Plain in Tex. and Lou., and there are scattered records from up the Mississippi Valley to se. Mo. (Y). No verified colls. are known from Ky. However, there has been a recent report by G. Burnett (pers. comm.) from near the main boat ramp in Hickman (FULT). Also, there has been some taxonomic confusion with Heliotropium europaeum, which was reported from Ky. by Price (1893) and other early authors (M); see notes under H. indicum.
