The distribution of this species is primarily in the Mississippi drainage; occurrences east of the Appalachians may be introduced, either by humans or by waterfowl. First reported for VA by Wieboldt et al. (1998). Reported for c. FL (Orange County) by Dalager (2022, who considers it as introduced there and likely via the aquatic plant industry. |  (c) Campos, Aidan |
