It is native to Sub‑Saharan Africa, Madagascar, many of the Indian Ocean islands, the Arabian Peninsula, Sri Lanka, Peninsular Malaysia, Vietnam, New Guinea, and Queensland in Australia, and it has been introduced to scattered locations in Central America and northern South America, and to Saint Helena.
