Area: A very common and variable plant with numerous varieties which 

 in a later time shall probably partly at least prove as well defined species. It 

 grows in forests on mountains from the Goncan to Ceylon and from the Khasia 

 Mountains to Tenasserim ; I found it also among the collections from German 

 New Guinea.
