Comments on use types:
The bark of the stem and roots is regarded as an antidote against snake bites and scorpion stings. The bark is also used to treat renal complaints. An indigo-yielding glucoside, used to dye clothes, can be obtained from the seeds, roots and leaves. The wood is light, soft and fine-textured. It is very suitable for carving and turnery, and is also used for general construction, pencils, wooden shoes and packaging
