"Hillebrand (1888) treated this species as native [ed.: to Hawaii]; however, the earliest collection was made in 1835.... In support of Hillebrand's statement is the discovery of seeds of this species in archaeological remains of the Mauna Kea Adze Quarry complex.... This site was abandoned prior to Cook's arrival." (Wagner et al. 1999. Manual of the flowering plants of Hawaii [rev. ed.]. p 1269.)
