This species is widely distributed in the Philippines in cul-
tivation but is nowhere abundant. It is certainly of prehistoric
introduction into the Archipelago and a purposely introduced
•species. Blanco’s Cicca acidissima is the whole basis of Phyl-
lanthus acidissimus Muell.-Arg., non Noronh. The genus Cicca
seems to be sufficiently distinct from Phyllanthus; -see t?. B.
