Dear colleagues,
?
I'm trying to find the natural distribution of two species.
?
Fragaria chiloensis (Rosaceae).?Wagner et al. (1990. Man. Fl. Plts. Hawaii) list it from the Hawaiian Islands,?Alaska to California; Juan Fernandez, and central Chile/adjacent Argentina. GBIF ( http://data.gbif.org) adds records from Honduras/Nicaragua; Ecuador/Peru (and Europe, presumably introduced)?are these correct??
?
Pilea peploides (Urticaceae).?Wagner et al. 1990 list it from?the Hawaiian Islands, Galapagos, and northern South America. GBIF?(http://data.gbif.org) also has records from?Japan, Taiwan, Sulawesi - are these all introduced? 
?
Thanks,
