Morinda citrifolia, Linn.: ‘‘ Nono” or “ Flower-tree.” 
The hair of the women (of Pitcairn Island) was retained in 
that position by a.chaplet of small red or white aromatic blos- 
soms newly gathered from the flower-tree (Morinda citrifola), 
or from the tobacco plant (Reechey, i., 99). 
A yellow dye is procured from the inner bark of the root in 
this and other islands. 
M. citrifolia is probably the tree referred to in the following 
passage ; the other timber is V’hespesia populnea. The note is 
taken from the report of Captain James Wood, of H.M.S. “* Pan- 
dora” (1849). , 
“The two most valuable trees on the island, of which they 
build their houses, and which are now very scarce are :— 
1. Tafano, or flower-wood. A yellow wood, very. hard and 
durable when not exposed to wet; of this most of the joiner’s 
work is done.”
