This map is based on our research. We have checked its accuracy to Level 3 ecoregions. Although this plant occurs somewhere in each of these regions, it may only occur in a small part of some or all of them.
BONAP marks this plant as "Adventive", suggesting it is native somewhere in the Americas, but POWO shows it native only to Africa and South Asia and CABI agrees with this assessment. As such we treat it as introduced.
↑Uses
This species is occasionally used as a food plant.
