Brazilian rose (E); Bototo (C); Carneasado (C); Carnestolendo (C); Flechero (C); Nunonunor bala (Cu); Poroporo (P) . The soft wood of other species is a famine food; this species might be judiciously sampled. The wood burns green. The cotton is used to stuff pillows, and is used at the base of Indian darts. The bark is used for making rope. It is frequently cultivated on San Blas Islands as decorative living llight poles (!). Medicinally, the plant is regarded as a sedative and suppurative. To treat jaundice, infusions of the leaves are prescribed in Colombia.
