Distribution
|
It is cul- tivated as an ornamental in Mexico and Central America and has doubtless escaped from cultivation in many places. It is uncertain whether it is truly native to Mexico and Cen- tral America or was originally introduced from South America.

Note
|
The authors are not aware of the existence of a Panamanian collection of S. molle, but its occurrence in Panama seems probable.
