   Tahiti, one of the Society Islands.] (Bot.)
   (a) The fruit of a Polynesian anacardiaceous tree ({Spondias
       dulcis}), also called {vi-apple}. It is rather larger
       than an apple, and the rind has a flavor of turpentine,
       but the flesh is said to taste like pineapples.

       Malaccensis}) which bears crimson berries.
