Argentina, ?Bolivia (?), Brazil, Chile, Paraguay, Uruguay. Introduced into South Africa, Australia and North
America. Not recorded for Bolivia in Freire (1995: 18; 1998: 26) nor Freire & Nieva (1998: 26); its presence in
Bolivia needs to be confirmed.
Amongst rock outcrops, humid rock crevices/cracks, modified soils, sandy soils.
0–1000 m.
(July–) September–November.
Note: I am unsure where Beauverd saw Stuckert‘s collections. There are apparently no dulicates in G; CORD
seems most likely. However, Stuckert 7216 is recorded (in TROPICOS) as Ambrosia tenuifolia Spreng. so some
further research is clearly needed.
