Aglaia mariannensis is a tree native to the Mariana Islands, including Guam and the Northern Mariana Islands, with large glossy compound leaves and fragrant yellowish flowers. It is a wet tropical tree that is not a common garden plant, so growing it is mainly a matter of matching warm, humid, sheltered conditions.
Aglaia mariannensis (Chamorro: mapunyao or mapuñao; Carolinian: fischil liyoos), is a tree endemic to the Mariana Islands, including Guam and the Northern Mariana Islands, with large (about 10–18 cm in length) dark green, glossy pinnately compound leaves, densely arranged on stems.
