[Wikipedia] Range, Naturalization, Weed Status: Ambrosia confertiflora is native to much of northern Mexico (from Sonora to Tamaulipas) and the southwestern United States from California east as far as Kansas, Oklahoma, and central Texas.[5] It is also naturalized in various other regions, and has been declared a noxious weed in Australia[6][7][8] and in Israel.[9] It grows in disturbed sites.
