Mexico to Tropical America.
Very rare and locally endangered tree of semi-evergreen seasonal forest.   A few specimens at Soufriere, on east side of highway as it ascends towards Bouton.
Also around Malgretoute, Soufriere.  Probably over-exploited for its timber in the past.
The masses of white flowers are very visible, December/ January.
