Abstract
Its origin uncertain, it is believed to have come from China or elsewhere in southeast Asia. It is an ancient introduction to Peninsular Malaysia, now naturalised. It was also introduced and naturalised in Thailand and the Philippines and elsewhere in tropical Asia. Now it has been widely introduced and cultivated in other subtropical to tropical countries and has become naturalized on a number of islands in the Pacific.
