[Wikipedia] Originated in southern Africa: [Wikipedia] Usually found in warm temperate and subtropical areas, it is probably native to southern Africa.[1] It is familiar elsewhere, particularly the coastline of western North America, where it is an introduced invasive species that has taken hold and become commonplace. It is also found, and naturalised, in Argentina, Chile, Peru, Ecuador, Australia, Spain, Greece, Southern England and New Zealand.
