''Areca catechu'' is a species of palm which grows in much of the tropical Pacific, Asia, and parts of east Africa. The palm is believed to have originated in the Philippines,〔 but is widespread in cultivation and is considered naturalized in southern China (Guangxi, Hainan, Yunnan), Taiwan, India, Bangladesh, the Maldives, Sri Lanka, Cambodia, Laos, Thailand, Vietnam, Malaysia, Indonesia, New Guinea, many of the islands in the Pacific Ocean, and also in the West Indies.〔(Kew World Checklist of Selected Plant Families )〕〔Jones, D. (2001), ''Palms Throughout The World'', Reed New Holland, Australia.〕〔Heatubun, C.D., Dransfield, J., Flynn, T., Tjitrosoedirdjo, S.S., Mogea, J.P. & Baker, W.J. (2012). A monograph of the betel nut palms (Areca: Arecaceae) of East Malesia. Botanical Journal of the Linnean Society 168: 147-173.〕
The species has many common names〔 including the areca palm, areca nut palm, betel palm, Indian nut, Pinang palm, Telugu: '' పోక '', Tagalog: ''bunga'', Indonesia/Malay: ''pinang'',〔Simon Gardner, Pindar Sidisunthorn and Lai Ee May, 2011. Heritage Trees of Penang. Penang: Areca Books. ISBN 978-967-57190-6-6〕 Malayalam: ''അടക്ക'' ''adakka'', Kannada: ''ಅಡಿಕೆ'' ''Adike'', (in Tamil "kamuhu", in Sinhala "Puwak" ). This palm is called the betel tree because its fruit, the areca nut, is often chewed along with the betel leaf, a leaf from a vine of the Piperaceae family.
''Areca'' is derived from a local name from the Malabar Coast of India and ''catechu'' is from another Malay name for this palm, ''caccu''.
