Use Corre and Lejanne state that in the Antilles the 
tree is known as Iltrbe a maumise gens or Herbe a mediants, 
and that the bark acts as a dangerous emmenagogne and violent 
emetic. Mr. Hoclingsworth of Madras has experimented with

also used as hair wash to kill vermin, and as an ointment to 
cure itch (Pliarrnacog. hid.).
