NOTES:
Recorded as introduced to East Africa (FTEA) but not localised. []
Record for New Guinea questioned. [261]
Often seen as a pioneer species. [2002]
The densely golden hairy form which seems to be the most common in Thailand, [2002]
has been recognised (e.g. as forma xanthocoma (Miq.)DeWit. As clinal variation [2002]
from nearly glabrous to densely hairy can be found it does not seem reasonable [2002]
to maintain a separate name. [2002]
De Wit recognises "forma xanthocarpa (Miq.)Dewit" in Malaysia & Indonesia. [3911]
