Through Land degradation and Indian subcontinent
The bark of the tree is traditionally used as an analgesic and anti-diarrhoeal. The apiose isoflavone compound lanceolarin is found in its root bark.
Because it produces new stems (ramets), it is recommended for reforestation projects on degraded land where seeds are unlikely to grow successfully.
