Use: According to RUMPHiUS, the wood was formerly sold as fire- 

 wood by the Javanese to seamen. Near Tandjong-Priok, Batavia, the fruit 

 is eaten in the state op pulp, after being first cooked and then dried.— 

 According to KOORDERS, near Banjoewangi, the fruit after being first 

 cooked is then preserved.— One sees often small bushes planted along 

 fish-ponds, in order to increase the strength of the dykes.
