HYMENOCARDIACEAE
Members of this family are considered by some authorities to belong within the Euphorbiaceae. [Summary yet to be added] The powdered bark, alone or as a decoction, is considered antiseptic and is used in Nigeria to wash wounds, ulcers, etc. Powdered leaves are applied locally for various pains, e.g. headaches, rheumatic pains, and toothache (Irvine 1961).
