Native to south-west Madagascar. It is also a significant weed in northern Australia, sometimes regarded as the worst weed in all of Australia. It has also been introduced to most other tropical and subtropical regions.
Seen growing here over acacias in an arid disturbed roadside field.

It's a pity that some of the introduced & damaging species have such beautiful flowers. It's sad that they take over. Says a lot about why natural controls are so important.
