This plant is supposed to be a native of tropieal America, but 
it is now so firmly established in many parts of the Old World 
as to have all the appearance of being indigenous. A hundred 
years ago, according to Loureiro, it existed in China, both wild 
and cultivated, and now it is common, often clothing the sand- 
hills by the sea in Formosa and Southern China. Mus. Brit. ;
