The article apparently contradicts itself on this point. First it states that "it is neither native nor naturalised in Tahiti". Then in the next sentence it says that "The... scientific name for the plant was based on Tahitian specimens". Then we are told that "it was also first collected in Tahiti".
If the plant isn't native or naturalised in Tahiti then how was it collected there? Was the plant being cultivated by Tahitians? If so it seems that it should be explained why it was cultivated. Is it a food source, a timber tree, a medicinal plant? Or did Tahitians really cultivate it for its aesthetic qualities? If so that is quite surprising.

Thanks, but I'm stil a bit confused. Naturalised means the plant grows in the area without human assistance. If it isn't naturalised that means it is only found in cultivation or in towns. Given the similarity in climate of the two regons I would be skeptical that the plant has managed to remain "abundant" in gardens for centuries but has never become naturalised. But even if this is true the article still omits what seems like important information: why has this plant been grown so widely in Tahitian gardens for centuries that it is considered "abundant"? What use does it have? Is it a garden weed? A food crop? medicinal? It woudl; be nice to have this information Ethel Aardvark ( talk) 23:40, 30 July 2008 (UTC)
Hello,
I understand that you can not make an essential oil from this plant, instead it's ingredient type would be "INFUSION" and the Extraction Method - 10% JOJOBA & SWEET ALMOND BASE. Can someone help me to understand this?
Thank you so much, CainO'
