Distribution

Standley (Trees and Shrubs of Mexico) reports this species from southern Arizona to Texas and in Mexico from Sonora to Jalisco. Powell (1988, Trees & Shrubs ...) gives records for three mountain ranges in the Trans-Pecos and adds the Mexican states of Chihuahua and Coahuila.

Remarks

I do not believe we need to consider this one as a rare plant.
