Mozamb. Bistr. Zanzibar, Kirk / East Coast of Africa, Fnrbrs! 



Found on maritime coasts in Madagascar, Johanna, the Seychelles, and throughout 

 the East Indies to the Pacific Islands and Australia. 



This plant is quite exceptional amongst tropical African Ruliiaceae inasmuch as in 

 the fruit the endocarp is very hard woody and more or less lobed, the mesocarp hard 

 and fibrous, and in the seed the embryo is entirely destitute of albumen.
