n. type of plant (collection: Michael J. Balick #5225)

Example: The fruits are used as a medicine. For any generalized sickness in the body, collect a handful or two of ripe fruits, put them in a bottle with water, allow this to ferment for 5 days, and drink liquid 3x day before meals. For swellings on the body, heat the leaves over a fire and rub on the affected area 1x daily for as long as needed, when the swelling goes away. The stems of this tree are good for house posts as they last a long time. The leaves can be used to cover lap=lap when cooking. (authorities: Naumeta Rose (male, 32), Paul Fatapa (male, 74))
