An introduced species, rare in cultivation. I have seen but a single 
Philippine specimen, from Nagcarlan, Laguna Province, Luzon. Java, Su- 
matra, reported also from southern China and from Japan, the last two 
records perhaps based on erroneously identified specimens, or perhaps on 
material from introduced plants. 
Local name: Canéla (Sp.).
