|discussion=<p>Lythrum hyssopifolia has been present in the eastern United States since at least the early 1800s and now has a scattered and disjunct distribution in the eastern and western states and Ontario. Successful establishment is attributed in part to its self-compatible, monostylous breeding system. In Australia, L. hyssopifolia has been responsible for the poisoning death of young sheep that grazed on canola stubble contaminated with it (B. Crawford 2002).</p>
