Medical Uses.—The leaves are used by native practitioners in the preparation of emollient poultices, and also in cutaneous complaints, being applied externally to the parts affected. The upper side of the leaves is used by the natives to act as a discutient, the under or white side as a maturant.—(Ainslie. Gibson.) In a case which came under Dr Wight's observation they acted as a powerful vesicant—Wight, 111, ii. 201."
