This is a variable species and there has been no up to date taxonomic study of the species which recognizes all the variation. I know the dyes are very different from all the Morindas, but I think more collections (in flower and fruit) would have to be made of all the different local varieties before we can start to name them. Date sent was not recorded, so date of "01-Jan-1900" is used as a default.
