The Maida Wood is an evergreen, or deciduous,
tree that reaches a height of 3-15 m. It is a polymorphic species with leaves
that are alternate and elliptical to oblong-elliptical, 3.5-10 × 1.5-11 cm,
velvety (particularly when young) or glabrous.
Maida Wood is a multipurpose, fast-growing
tree. In the Northern Philippines, the leaves are chopped and soaked in water
to make plaster. While Maida Lakdi gives a poor timber due to its low wood
density, it is often used as fue. It was introduced as a source of fuel wood,
in the Comoros archipelago in the mid 19th century, to meet the high demand of
the sugarcane distilleries, and later of the cinnamon, ylang-ylang and
citronella distilleries.
Maida Wood is also used in ethno medicine: in
India, its bark and leaves are used as a demulcent and mild astringent for
diarrhea and dysentery, and the paste of its roots is used as poultice for
sprains and bruises. In China, the oil contained in the seed (50%) is used to
make soap. More recently, Maida Lakdi has been investigated as a source of
essential oils, arabinoxylans and other components with antiseptic properties.
The use of Maida Lakdi as a fodder tree is
particularly developed in Mayotte (Indian Ocean) where it has been reported
that 93% of the cattle farmers were using Maida Lakdi forage.
Globally, Maida Wood is not considered as
invasive. However, it has a high invasion potential and displaces regenerating
native plant species in disturbed environments. It is considered as
opportunistic in the eastern coastal region of China, and invasive in
KwaZulu-Natal and several islands of the Indian Ocean, though not in the
Seychelles. In Mayotte, its utilization as fodder somewhat alleviates its pest
status. The invasive properties of Maida Lakdi can also be used for
reforestation of damaged soils.
