Terrestrial. Native to South East Asia. The seed has a high oil content, and was used widely as a source of oil and burnt on skewers for light (Handy & Handy, 1972). The soot from burnt nuts was an important dye (Handy & Handy, 1972; Whistler,1991a,b), the inner bark juice yielded a reddish-brown dye (Gothesson, 1997), and the plant had various uses in Polynesian medicine (Barrau, 1961; Cox, 1991; Gothesson, 1997).
