Lettuce (Lactuca sativa) is not considered indigenous to any specific region, as it has been cultivated and selectively bred for thousands of years, primarily originating from wild species in the Mediterranean region and parts of Asia. The wild ancestor of cultivated lettuce is believed to be Lactuca serriola, which can still be found in various areas today. Over time, lettuce has been spread and adapted globally, making it a common agricultural crop rather than an indigenous plant.
