Where it grows wild

Open slopes, grassland and pine-oak woodland edges on volcanic soils of the Trans-Mexican Volcanic Belt and western Sierra Madre; this is inferred from the record sites and the genus rather than species-specific literature.

Recorded at 200–5,622 m, median 2,257 m; the extremes are almost certainly georeferencing errors and most records lie near 1,800–2,600 m.
