HAWAII - POLYNESIAN
INTRODUCTION
Morinda citrifolia
INDIAN MULBERRY NONI
Small tree found in coastal areas, lava fields, dry, and mesic
forests. Brought to Hawaii by early Polynesian settlers and
now naturalized. Foul-smelling bitter fruit is used medicinally,
roots & bark for dye. Noni juice is touted as a homeopathic
remedy. One fruit contains roughly half the Vitamin C of an Orange
(I'd choose the orange).
