Cinnamomum burmanni is native to tropical Southeast Asia. It ranges from Bangladesh to Myanmar, southern China, Hainan, Vietnam, Indonesia (Borneo, Sumatra, Java, Sulawesi, the Lesser Sunda Islands), and the Philippines. It has also become invasive in Taiwan since around the 1970s. In Sumatra C. burmanni is commonly found in West Sumatra and western Jambi province, with the Kerinci region being especially known as the center of production of quality, high essential-oil crops. On Borneo it occurs in Sabah (Keningau, Lahad Datu, Ranau, Sandakan and Sipitang districts) and Kalimantan, where it found in cultivation and in secondary forest, villages, and abandoned plantations to 1,500 metres elevation. C. burmanni is an introduced species in parts of the subtropical world, particularly in Hawaiʻi, where it is naturalized and invasive. It was introduced to Hawaiʻi from Asia in 1934 as a crop plant.
