Scientific name
Morinda citrifolia is the scientific name for the noni tree
Description
It is in the family Rubiaceae. Rubiaceae or occasionally called the Coffee Family is a group of flowering plants. An interesting aspect to the noni tree Morinda citrifolia, is that it flowers on the outside of the fruit. There are relatively few fruits that produce flowers. Usually plants will grow flowers, and then from the flower comes the fruit. Mulberrys also behave this way.
There are six total varieties of noni trees that produce noni fruit. However, only one variety is medicinal. The Polynesians knew this, so that is the type that they decided to introduce to Hawaii. Noni contains over 165 compounds that are healthy for the human body.
The adult tree can reach up to 40 feet in height, producing 20 lbs. of fruit by age five, and reaching 500 lbs. of fruit production thereafter. Noni fruit have been used as famine sustenance and as folk-medicine for centuries.

History
This
plant is known among the people of the tropics worldwide. For
thousands of years, only the islanders have known about it. In Malaysia,
it is known as Mengkudu, in Southeast Asia - Nhau, in Samoa and Tonga - Nonu, in Raratonga and Tahiti - Nono, and it is called Noni
in the Marquises Islands and Hawaii. Different people in tropics
have more than 70 names for this plant, but “Noni” is the most
world-widespread name now.
Ancient manuscripts handed down from generation to generation, describe many uses for this plant.
The ancients revered and benefited from all the
elements of the Noni plant - fruit, leaves, and seeds. It was an
essential component of the Tahitian culture and folk healthcare that
was used to sustain life and restore lost balance.
Noni was first discovered and used long before
recorded history in South East Asia and surrounded territiries, when
ancient Indian scientists began examining the world of Nature and
looking for plants good not only for food, but aslo to treat diseases
and beneficial for health. They developed a medical system of using
plants and natural treatments called Ayurveda, Sanskrit for "the science of life." A highly advanced system of natural medicine, Ayurveda is still being practiced today.
Noni was considered a sacred plant and is mentioned in ancient texts as Ashyuka, which is Sanskrit for "longevity." Noni was noted to be a balancing agent, stabilizing the body in perfect health.
When Europeans began exploring the islands of
the South Pacific in the late 1700s, they noticed it was widely used by
the native people. Captain Cook is his journals mentioned of his
observation of the island natives using Noni for food and medicinally.
During World War II, U.S. soldiers based on
Polynesian islands were instructed in their field manual that Noni was
recognized as a safe food staple to eat to sustain their strength.
In the early 90s, food scientist John Wadsworth
got wind of Noni fruit, and he went to Tahiti to find out more. What
he found was a fruit high in antioxidants and
rich in a history of helping people. He partnered with other
scientists and spent nearly three years formulating Noni juice.
Since then, a new Noni’s life began. Today,
millions over the world are discovering the health balancing
properties of this once hidden island secret.
