|discussion=<p>Subspecies minus is the only member of <i>Chaenorhinum minus</i> to have become widely established as a weed; the other three subspecies occur in Europe, one each in Corsica, Crete, and Turkey.</p><!--
--><p>First collected in Camden, New Jersey (1874), and St. John, New Brunswick (1881), <i>Chaenorhinum minus</i> likely came to North America as a contaminant in ship ballast, with subsequent dispersal along railroad lines (M. P. Widrlechner 1983). R. M. Arnold (1981, 1982) noted that self-compatibility, a short generation time, drought tolerance, and seed dispersal enhanced by passing trains allowed <i>C. minus</i> to be a successful colonizer of railroad rights-of-way, where it was once common but is now scarce because of herbicide use.</p>
