Habit:  tree

Description:  "Tree 10 m tall or more, bark gray-brown to blackish; leaves and inflorescence with a mealy-scurfy whitish to light brown indument; leaves simple and ovate or trilobed or rarely 5-lobed, or sublanceolate, or subdeltoid, acute at apex, rounded, truncate, or subcordate at base, 3-5-nerved from the base, midrib thereafter pinnately branches; blades mostly 10-20 cm long, on an equally long slender petiole; 2 glands at junction of blade and petiole; flowers small, greenish-white, in panicles, male and female on same plant; panicles 10-15 cm long, many-flowered, terminal; petals pubescent, elliptic-spathulate; stamens of unequal lengths; ovary pubescent; fruit globose or bi-globose, 1-2-seeded, olivaceous, glabrescent, 4-6 cm long, indehiscent, with bony endocarp and oily seeds" (Stone, 1970; p. 368).

Habitat/ecology:  Favors moist valleys.  Grows to elevations of 2000 m on a variety of soils.  In Hawai‘i, "a Polynesian introduction, now a conspicuous component of mesic valley vegetation, 0-700 m"  (Wagner et al., 1999; p. 598).  In Fiji, "found from near sea level to an elevation of 825 m in forest or along its edges, in thickets, and sometimes along the shore"  (Smith, 1981; pp. 548-549). In New Caledonia, "l'arbre est localement abondant sur schistes en forêts peu ou pas dégradées, et dans les forêts côtières sur calcaires des îles Loyauté" (MacKee, 1994; p. 50).

Propagation:  Large, heavy seeds. An early introduction, undoubtedly it was widely spread by humans. Nevertheless, as can be observed in Hawai‘i, this species has spread further following introduction by whatever means, now growing even in seemingly totally inaccessable spots.

Native range:  "Native to Malesia, although its precise native range is essentially impossible to determine because of its early spread by man, now widespread in many tropical areas" (Wagner et al., 1999; p. 598).

Comments:  Listed as a moderate invader on Pitcairn Island (Meyer, 2000; p. 103). Widespread in the Hawaiian Islands.

Control:  Where control is needed, trees can be cut down and stumps treated with glyphosate to prevent resprouting. "Even quite large trees can apparently be killed by basal bark application of 10% Garlon 600 in diesel oil. Pending the results of field trials seedlings should be sprayed with 2% Roundup plus Pule in clean water, and saplings and trees either cut stump treated or sem injected with 50% Roundup in clean water or basal bark treated with 10% Garlon 600 in diesel oil. Large trees may be controlled either by cut stump treatment with 50% Roundup or possibly by stem injection with 100% Roundup." (Swarbrick, 1997; p. 17).
