This plant has been located in SW Spain. It´s ornamental, we have no idea what it is. It is a shrub, with trifoliate leaves are opposite, fruit capsule, bifid stigma and 4 stamens to the corolla. Possibly originating in Cuba. In Andalusia is the vernacular name of "Vence battles" (Vence batallas) making allusion to its curative properties
Thank you very much for the determination.
Indeed variegated form is Vitex trifoliata
Actually, this variegated form of Vitex trifolia has the same vernacular name in Cuba "vence batallas" but it is not native from Cuba.
Thank very much Eldis, its possible origin is the tropical East Africa, which reaches French Polynesia although according to authors give it a Neotropical origin (Pérez-Montesinos et al. 2009-2010), with invasive behavior in the other countries
