This plant is interesting from the circumstance
of its being held sacred in Nubia, where the inhabitants celebrate
their religious festivals under it by moonlight, and poles made of
its wood are erected as symbols of special veneration before the
houses of their great chiefs. The fruits, which are very large,
when cut in half and slightly roasted, are employed as an outward
application to relieve pains.
