According to Madulid's book, A Pictorial Cyclopedia of Philippine Ornamental Plants, it is indigenous to our beautiful country the Philippines.<br /><br />If I'm not mistaken, you were describing this plant to me when I visited your place, though the conversation somehow managed to divert to something else, I had this plant in mind.<br /><br />Now, you can really sleep tight.
