In Hawaii, "a Polynesian introduction, now widely naturalized in low elevation mesic to wet sites, primarily mesic valleys, 200-310 m" (Wagner et al., 1999; pp. 975-976). In Niue, "common in and near all the villages" (Sykes, 1970; p. 136). In New Caledonia, "est peu commun et apparemment d'introduction récente en Nouvelle-Calédonie" (MacKee, 1994; p. 107). Moist uplands in the Galápagos Islands (McMullen, 1999; p. 90).
Propagation: Seed
