Uses
This plant can be used for Hawaiian ecosystem restoration and erosion control. Sooty terns and red-footed boobies use this plant as nesting material. The Hawaiian people use the wood of this plant to make shark hooks, and the cooked leaves are eaten like (related) spinach. The bark was traditionally used for beautifying the skin; and was consumed by nursing mothers to beautify the skin during development. In addition with other native herbs it was mixed for weight gain in children. ==References==
