Hab. Samoan or Navigators' and Feejee Islands : very common on 

 the coast. 



The fruit, " of the size of a green-gage plum, and sweet-scented," 

 is spherical, as it is figured by Labillardiere. Otherwise the plant 

 too closely resembles Ximenia Americana, to which, indeed, Decaisne 

 (in Herb. Timor.) has joined it. The branches are either unarmed 

 or spiny.
