Tropical Plants

pls identify tropical plant!

14 years ago

hello!

Pls identify this plant. I live in Manila, Philippines (hot, humid, tropical). The Chinese here believe that this plant is a "cure" for cancer, though I don't know how true is that.

It would be a big help if anyone can identify it for me, so I can do more research about it. And so if I find something interesting, I can share it with you.

Thank you very much!

I am not positive at all about this but I wonder if it is the Noni fruit tree. Is it a tree?
