From Flora of Indiana (1940) by Charles C. Deam
This species is rapidly becoming established in all parts of the state and has in some parts already become an annoying weed. Our first report dates back to 1905. In 1915 I made a note that I saw it only once during the year although I had driven more than 5000 miles. Now it has become more frequent along roadsides and in pasture fields and meadows.
