Comment:
Range: Native to an unidentified region in southeast Asia, now distributed by human agencies throughout the tropical parts of the world, and a successful colonizer particularly of islands. Central & southern Florida; Texas, Louisiana. Virtually all of the West Indies; but only marginally established in Central America: Panama Canal Zone; coastal lowlands of Costa Rica and Guatemala only; but to 700 m. ASL in El Salvador. Found in Prov. Limón, C. R. in 1921 by W. M. Wheeler, but not in 1937 by H. F. Loomis despite longer and more intensive search.
