Amazonian Colombia and n.-w. Venezuela: in w. Mexico s.-ward from 27°N (Sa. de Alamos) and on the Gulf lowlands from the Tropic line; in Colombia on the Magdalena valley s. to Tolima, e. very locally to Serranía de la Macarena at ±74°W in Meta and to arenitic hills at 70°30'W in Vaupes; in Venezuela very local in Lara; formerly cultivated in Cuba, in Florida, and under glass n.-ward. — Map 36. — Fl. nearly throughout the year, most abundantly XI-V.
