It is widely distributed in tropical and subtropical regions in Africa, Madagascar, southern Asia (Iran, India, China, Philippines, Indonesia, etc.), New Guinea, Australia, South America, West Indies, Central America, southern Mexico and the southeastern United States (from Texas to Virginia).[2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12]
Description

In Western Australia it is found in wet areas in the Kimberley region where it grows in gravelly sandy-clay alluvium.[13]
