ZRC material from: Woodleigh, Sime Road forest, Lower Peirce Reservoir, Nee Soon swamp forest, Lorong Banir, Sungei Seletar, Upper Seletar Reservoir, Sungei Punggol, Serangoon.

Remarks: It is possible that this species was introduced in Singapore, as the earliest record is Tweedie’s (1936) and it is unlikely that such an important large and edible species could have been overlooked by earlier collectors.
