Description

While entry is very likely because of plans to cultivate the plant for rubber production, chances for establishment outside of cultivation are more difficult to estimate. There are reports on establishment of the species in several countries, however, no populations seem to exist in Germany, even after a period of its cultivation in the 1940s.
