Name: Tree Heliotrope
Scientific: Heliotropium arboreum
A.K.A.: Beach Heliotrope, Velvetleaf Soldierbush, Veloutier, Octopus Bush
Notes: A species of flowering plant in the borage family, Boraginaceae. It is native to tropical Asia including southern China, Madagascar, northern Australia, and most of the atolls and high islands of Micronesia and Polynesia. It is a shrub or small tree typical of littoral zones. It thrives in sandy barren soil with high drainage and is capable of withstanding sea spray, and can grow in heavy winds. The tree is also drought resistant, allowing it to survive the sub-tropical dry season of the South Pacific. The tree produces small fruits and flowers. The flowers are tiny, only reaching 0.6 centimetres in diameter, white, and do not begin to appear until the tree has reached a few years of age. The fruits it produces are small, opaque and fleshy.
