Notes

Leenhouts (1969) cited collections from Peninsular Malaysia (W.L. Wood s.n., collected at Pasir Plangie Istana, Johore; deposited at SING [23118; cf. SING0188235]) and Java, but he later (1994) regarded the latter ones as naturalized and Turner (1995) also the former one. Marfleet & van Welzen (2021), however, do not distinguish such occurrences from native ones.
