Field Notes

Description:

Tree that self seeds a lot. Grows not more than 3 metres high. Two species on my island, one with pink flowers one with white flowers.

Habitat:

Coastal woodland in tropical island.

Notes:

I see them growing on fence lines, so small birds must be eating the seeds.

The small tree added at the end, was cut down and now has multiple stalks growing. Usually there is only one trunk.
