Widely spread through tropical South and Central America, the West Indies 
and the Eastern United States. I am not able to distinguish U. pusilla, Vahl, 
from U. subulata, particularly from the form, known as U. sudulata, vav. inequalis, 
DC., and assume that the plant enumerated by Kamienski, l.c. 105, under U. subu- 
data from Dolo in the Congo Free State (Schlechter, 12456) also is U. subulata.
