Carica (caricacea pubescens) is native to Andean regions, South America. The plant is brought to The East India (Indonesia) by Dutch Indian Colonial in 1940s and only grows on mountain area at 2,000 m above sea level of Dieng Plateau, Central Java, Indonesia.

Dieng is a marshy plateau that forms the floor of a caldera complex on an active volcano complex, located near the town of Wonosobo. It is also the site for Hindu temples from the 7th and 8th centuries, the first known standing stone structures in Java. The name "Dieng" comes from Di Hyang which means "Abode of the Gods".
