Medicinal: Recent investigations have been undertaken to analyze the plant's (leaves and stems) potential for anti-cancer drugs similar to those found in Taxus.
Other Uses: The seeds have a high oil content. No uses are given for this oil. The wood is used for tool making, furniture, and woodturning (handicrafts). (Hoang et al. 2004).
