Calophyllinii iiiophyllnm. 



" KAMANI." 



This Kamani is a large tropical tree, having shiny, leathery, 

 evergreen foliage. Its leaves are obovate, usually marginate, and 

 its white flowers are very fragrant. The fruit, which generally 

 comes in clusters, is round, about the size of a large walnut, and 

 has a thin, leathery skin which covers a boney shell, inside of 

 which is a corky substance surrounding the seed or kernel. This 

 tree was an early introduction to these Islands, and is commonly 

 seen on our seacoasts.
