Excerpt from Bulletin of Miscellaneous Information, 1904 As may be gathered from the situations in which it is found, the tree should thrive in the climate of the South of Europe, also on mountain slopes in many parts of India, Ceylon, the West Indies, and in South Africa and many parts of Australia.

As will be shown later, a measure of success has attended its cultivation in the Nilgiris, and it has also been grown in South Australia, the West Indies, and in the South of Europe. A portion of the stem of a tree raised from seed supplied from Kew and grown by Sir Thomas Hanbury, at La Mortola was placed in the Kew Museum in 1884.
