It is known to grow natively in Cuba and scattered sites in extreme south Florida in the Lower Florida Keys. However, there are some sources reporting it elsewhere in the West Indies, such as Hispaniola.

Where it grows

In Florida, it is only known to occur in pine rockland and rockland hammocks on Big Pine Key and Cudjoe Key.
