Grows on the side of the hills and along creeks. Women go out in two or three toyotas to the countryside to collect the seeds from the ground around the trees. When they have finished, they drive back to the town or community. They make a fire and put a long piece of wire in the fire to make it hot. They put the seeds on the board. Then the women pick up the wire from the fire and burn a hole through them. They put the seeds with holes in them to one side. When they finish putting holes through the seeds, they put a string through the holes to makes necklaces and bangles. The wood of this tree is also used for making coolamons and fighting sticks.
