This small evergreen tree or shrub is native from Southeastern Asia (Indonesia) to Australia, and now has a pantropical distribution. Noni is noted for its extremely wide range of environmental tolerances. It can grow in infertile, acidic and alkaline soils and is at home in very dry to very wet areas. It grows naturally in relatively dry to mesic sites or lowland areas in close proximity to shorelines, or as an important forest understory species in low-elevation.
Habitat:
Hunting Caye on Belize Barrier Reef.
Notes:
All parts of the plant have traditional and/or modern uses, including roots and bark (dyes, medicine), trunks (firewood, tools), and leaves and fruits (food, medicines).
