Madagascar: Hyptis pectinatas grows on ferruginous soils, ferralitic soils more or less rich enough of humus, bordering the marshland. It is found along the roads and watercourses, borders of crop, disturbed moist places, fallow land and natural pasture. It is a weed of rainfed crops in sub humid and semiarid areas of low to medium altitude up to 800 m altitude.
Mauritius: It is a weed that can be found in pastures, secondary thickets and sugarcane fields in some areas.
Mayotte: Hyptis pectinata is a spontaneous exotic species in the hygrophilic area, especially in crops, villages and forest clearings.
New Caledonia: Hyptis pectinata has a marked preference for damp locations and therefore the banks of rivers. This weed is widespread on the West Coast. Occurs up to medium altitudes (around 500 m) in pastures on the slopes, in vacant lots and fallow.
