Codizum variegatum, Blume (C. moluccanum, Decne.).— Lister 
New Hebrides and Solomon Islands to Fiji and Navigator 
Islands, and in the Moluccas ; cultivated in many countries. 
This is an exceedingly variable plant in its foliage. Seemann 
(Fl. Vit. p. 231) states that it forms underwood in the larger 
islands of the Fiji group, where it was, even in his time, 
commonly cultivated by the natives for ornamental purposes. 
A great many varieties were cultivated, each having a dis- 
tinguishing name. Hillebrand (Fl. Haw. p. 393) mentions it as 
a cultivated plant only in the Sandwich Islands. Drake del 
Castillo does not mention it, and I find no Tahitian specimens.
