• Question

  I forgot to mention in my last submission concerning Atriplex prostrata, that the Smithsonian Environmental Research Center says it is native to Eurasia. thought you would want to know of the conflict.

  Answer

  Dear chaffeemonell, good afternoon. Unfortunately, it's not likely that simple. It is more probable, based on the history of collections, that the coastal populations are in fact native and the inland populations are introduced from Europe. This is sometimes the case that we have both native and non-native populations of the same species in New England. Best wishes.
