Ceylon, NE. India, Siam, Indochina, Micronesia; in Malaysia: throughout except for East Java and Lesser Sunda Isl.
Notes
The species was formerly credited with a much wider distribution, due to confusion with other species. Selling has distinguished most of the latter, and has given a comparative survey of the group and of individual distributions (l.c.). Actinostachys boninensis Nakai () appears to differ from S. digitata only in the greater number of sorophores (to 30) which are shorter (8-40 mm long); I have seen no specimens.
