"The seeds of this species originally could have been brought to Hawaii unintentionally by Polynesians on taro plants; however, they could just as easily have been brought by migratory water birds such as ducks. Hillebrand (1888) treated it as indigenous." "First collected [ed.: in Hawaii] (without definite locality) in 1794...." (Wagner et al. 1999. Manual of flowering plants of Hawaii. p. 998) Ludwigia octovalvis is native to Pantropical.
