General Uses: A commercial insect wax is produced on the branches[178]. We are not sure how the wax is produced, one report says that it is as a result of eggs being laid by insects. Another report says that the wax is produced by the plant due to the stimulation of the feeding insects. Yet another report says that the wax is produced from secrections of the insects[178]. The wax is used for making candles and as a polish for earthenware pots, bookedges etc[178]. The plant (extract?) is said to be used as a barrier to protect the skin from ultra-violet light[176].
