"The plant is gathered from the wild for local use as a medicine, fuel and source of timber. It has been introduced as an ornamental in most parts of the tropics."
"Jacaranda species have also been used traditionally to treat venereal infections, gastrointestinal disorders, leishmaniasis, colds and rheumatism."
"The timber is yellowish-white, hard, moderately heavy, fine textured, easy to work, and is used for carpentry. Wood is light brown and soft. It is used for poles and for making small items such as tool handles and carvings.
Provides a useful firewood."
