This species is almost certainly not a native of the Pliilippines; all the 

 specimens seen from Luzon are from cultivated trees, but Danao states that 

 the specimen from Palawan came from the forest. It appears to be wild in 

 the drier parts of Africa and Asia, and is now widely cultivated in many parts 

 of the world, China, Japan, West Indies, South America, etc. ^lost authors have 

 followed DeCandolle and Bentham and spelled the specific name ''lebbek." the 

 original is, however, "lebbeck."
