A native of southwestern Europe, collected in 1984 in a vacant lot along Lake Michigan north of Menominee in Menominee Co. by D. Henson as an escape from cultivation.
This species usually has a yellow corolla, but the rare red-pink form is what was found in Michigan. The lowermost leaves are opposite, the cauline leaves less than 1 mm wide, the raceme glandular-puberulent, and the flowers few with corolla lips apparently not divergent.
