DISTRIBUTION AND OCCURRENCE
SPECIES: Melilotus alba | White Sweetclover 



GENERAL DISTRIBUTION : 
White sweetclover is native to Europe and western Asia.  It was probably
introduced into North America by early settlers and was first recorded
in the United States in 1739 [32].  Its widespread use as bee pasture,
in agriculture, and for soil stabilization hastened its spread across
North America.  Today it is found in Alaska, Hawaii, every Canadian
province and territory, and in all of the contiguous United States [34].
