Trends
C. opulifolium was first recorded in the wild in Britain in 1853. It appears to be declining, perhaps as a result of improved seed cleaning techniques, but is much confused with variants of C. album and is possibly under-recorded.
World Distribution
A European Southern-temperate species, extending south to central Africa. It is difficult in many areas to distinguish native and alien occurrences.
