Fagraea berteroana (orth. variant F. berteriana), commonly known as the pua keni keni, pua kenikeni or perfume flower tree, is a small spreading tree or a large shrub.
It is known as the pua-lulu in the Samoan Islands, and as pua in Tonga, Niue and Tahiti.
It is native to the tropical Pacific, ranging from Queensland and Papuasia (New Guinea, the Bismarck Archipelago, and Solomon Islands) to Micronesia (Caroline Islands, Gilbert Islands, and Marianas), Vanuatu, New Caledonia, Fiji, and parts of Polynesia (Cook Islands, Marquesas, Nauru, Niue, Samoan Islands, Society Islands, Tonga, Tubuai Islands, and Wallis and Futuna).
