Name: Thespesia populnea

Other Names: portia tree, Indian tulip tree, Pacific rosewood, seaside mahoe

Description: The portia tree (Thespesia populnea, is species of flowering plant in the mallow family, Malvaceae. It is a small tree or arborescent shrub that is pantropical, found on coasts around the world. However, portia tree is probably native only to the Old World, and may have originated in India. In Hawaiʻi and elsewhere in the Pacific it is possibly indigenous, although may have been spread by early Polynesians for its useful wood and bast fibres. The portia tree reaches a height of 6–10 metres (20–33 ft) tall and a trunk diameter of 30–30 centimetres (12–12 in). It grows at elevations of 0–275 metres (0–900 ft) in areas that receive 500–1,600 millimetres (20–63 in) of annual rainfall. The portia tree is able to grow in the wide range of soil types that may be present in coastal environments, including soils derived from quartz (sand), limestone, and basalt; it favors neutral soils (pH of 6-7.4).

Common names vary according to the country and include Indian tulip tree, Pacific rosewood, seaside mahoe (in Florida), surina (the "elegant tree"), suriya (Sinhala), bebaru or baru baru (Malay), milo or miro (in many Polynesian languages), mako‘i (Rapanui), gangaraavi (Telugu), poovarasu (Tamil) and plaksa (Sanskrit).
