Breynia retusa explained

Breynia retusa is a species of plant in the family Phyllanthaceae.

Distribution

It grows naturally in Bangladesh,[1] China,[2] Bhutan, Cambodia, India, Laos, Malaysia (peninsular), Myanmar, Nepal, Sri Lanka, Thailand, Vietnam[3] and Réunion where it is considered as an invasive weed.[4]

The synonysation of Sauropus elegantissimus that is known to be endemic to Malaysia is disputed. Under this name, this plant is listed as critically endangered,[5] but it is unclear what effect an updated taxonomy would have on that rating.
