Morinda citrifolia
Short plant with bumpy green fruit. It blossomed on the fruit in a tinny white flower.
Tropical
From Wikipedia: "The green fruit, leaves, and root/rhizome were traditionally used in Polynesian cultures to treat menstrual cramps, bowel irregularities, diabetes, liver diseases, and urinary tract infections"
In Maldives, we call this "Ahivah"... it has great medicinal value... and sometimes its bark and roots are used to make certain dyes... :-)
