[edit]

[edit]

Tabernaemontana pandacaqui is native to China, Taiwan, Thailand, Malesia, Papua New Guinea, Australia and many Pacific islands.[7] Plants in the Mariana islands of Guam and Rota are now considered to be a separate species, Tabernaemontana rotensis.[8][better source needed] It is found in a wide variety of habitats, particularly in drier areas.[6] The species is also reportedly naturalized in the Windward Islands, Trinidad and Tobago and Panama.[7]
