It occurs naturally in coastal Saurashtra (Bhavnagar, Porbandar, Jamnagar, Veraval, Diu coastal borders), the maritime margins of Kachchh, and South Gujarat's littoral and sub-littoral estuarine banks (Surat, Navsari, Valsad, Bharuch), while also cultivated as a living bio-fence and medicinal hedge across non-forest agricultural lands.
