PAC Wr The New York Botanical Garden Institute of Economic Botany Apocynaceae Palau. Airai. 7°21'33"N, 134°29'59"E Secondary forest. Teee to 6m., dbh 15cm, fruit white. N.V. Chemeridech [Belauan] Used to treat skin bums. Use: See MB4362: Take 6 yellow leaves and 6 green leaves, smash or grind squeeze in cloth (old times coconut fiber- today any white cloth). Squeeze on burned skin, hurts when applied. If blistered, pop with needle and squeeze. Makes bum dry and cures it fast. Apply once in the morning, and if skin is too oily, apply more times, and once in the evening. Don't put water on bum. Juice of this is white-green in color, might take 1-2 weeks to heal and use daily, if very bad bum, might use 1 -2 months. If light bum might use for 4-5 days. Really depends on bum. When pick leaves, say families' secret words Collect plants wherever they are easiest to find. M. J.
