Introduced to India by colonial foresters and municipal botanical societies in the late 19th century as an elite shade and avenue tree, it has naturalized across urban centers, corporate townships, and roadside boulevards in South Gujarat (Surat, Navsari, Valsad, Bharuch), Central Gujarat (Vadodara, Anand, Ahmedabad), and coastal Saurashtra (Bhavnagar, Rajkot).

Native to the Neotropical seasonal dry forests, savannas, and lowland river basins of Central America and northern South America (extending from southern Mexico through Colombia, Venezuela, to Brazil).
