Mangrove associate. Grows up to 25m. Bark: Grey, smooth. Leaves: Large, simple, egg-shaped, shiny. Flowers: Night-blooming flowers appear on a long spike from the centre of a leaf group. Flower is a puff ball of stamens with four small white petals. Fruits: Lantern-shaped, floats on water. Green at first, turning brown when ripe.
This huge, thick-trunked, native coastal tree with large, glossy leaves 10-60 cm (4-24 inches) long, attractive white flowers can grow to heights of 20 m (65 ft). The fibrous fruit are buoyant; after maturing on the tree and then dropping off, these large, one-seeded fruits are carried out to sea by the tides and drift along with the currents, eventually washing up on the shores of many tropical Pacific islands; they may then sprout and grow to be large shade providing trees.
