Uses: This tree is sometimes planted by seed or cutting for its ornamental value. The name means "flower in the midst of foliage." The utilomar trunk provides house timber and its branches make excellent firewood. The wood of this tree is also considered to be the best to use through rubbing to start fires (kaar and kiden are also good for this use). Flowers of utilomar are used for female medicine, treating hemorrhoids, scenting coconut oil, and in making flower garlands for the head, ut pālpel, and for around the neck, ut mow mar.
