Album Info:

Morinda citrifolia is the scientific name given to the tree or plant known as “Indian Mulberry” or “Noni” in Hawaiian... The name “noni” is actually Polynesian. However, throughout the tropics, it is conceived in different ways. It is locally called as “Mengkudo” in Malaysia, “Nhau” in Southeast Asia, but specifically called “Apatot” and “Bangkuro” in the Philippines. Because of its distinctive smell, Australian called it as “Cheese fruit”. In the South Pacific, it is called “Nonu” same in the islands of Samoa and Tonga. In the island of Raratonga and Tahiti it is called “Nono”. While in the world, specifically Marquesas Island and Hawaii it is known as “Noni”, possibly because the Hawaiian tradition is where we find the richest history of Noni use. In Hawaii, most significant and broad research and study of its medicinal value is ongoing today. Through the age of history, people from diverse land and culture accept its value. And they use their distinctive knowledge to remedy different illness and body disorder. Just like coconut tree, every part of Morinda citrifolia also has various uses to distinctive needs. ~~~Taken from http://www.noni-fruits.com/aboutnoni.htm l

    • Most certainly, Loida, you may use this or any photo in my albums. If you want a high resolution, you have to be my friend though since, in Webshots, only friends of the person you want to upload pictures from, have access to high-res photos. Have a great day! ~~~Mary Ann
