Hab. Tonga Islands: Eua, near summits, Lister; Vavau, 
Crosby, 99, 100. Fiji: Ovalau, U.S. Exploring Expedition ;

The Tonga form has larger leaves than the Fijian, but I can 
find no other difference; and further I have only seen the 
obovate-leaved form from Tonga, ‘ Kalaka’ is the native name. 
The flowers are produced in January, the fruit ripens in June.
