Notes

Native to Asia, but introduced as a medicinal plant throughout subtropical and tropical regions ( Duc et al. 2021) and spreading as an alien weed in Europe as well ( Jeričević and Jeričević 2017). In Hungary, many of its records are from garden stores ( Takács et al. 2020), but a population was discovered on the shore of the Danube ( Mesterházy 2021). New to Budapest.
