The candle-nut {Aleurites moluccana), like the Polynesian ti, appears to 

 be the survivor of the abandoned c-ultivations of a native race. It now 

 occurs in two places only on Siuiday Island — there is a small clump of trees 

 in Coral Bay and another on Low Flat. The trees in Denham Bay and the 

 Terraces have been planted quite recently. It was formerly in other places, 

 but has died out, leaving only dead fruit scattered about the groimd. It is 

 thus scarcely able to hold its ground in the forest.
