Clidemia hirta
This plant may reach 16 feet in height and produces indigo colored, edible berries.
Native to the American neotropics, from Mexico to Paraguay. In Hawaii, Southeast Asia, Australia and East Africa, it is considered highly invasive.
In Latin, "hirta" means "scrubby". Also, the common name for this plant derives from the name of the man who accidentally first introduced it to Fiji.
