Degeneria vitiensis is a flowering tree found on Viti Levu in Fiji. It is known as masiratu and vāvāloa in Fijian, although the latter is also used for Litsea magnifolia. It is a relatively common plant and is used as timber. It has been found in upland forests on steep slopes.
The pollen-eating beetle Haptoncus takhtajani is associated with the plant. The systematics and taxonomy of Degeneriaceae were reviewed in 1991.
