The lanete is used as a reforestation species because it is fast-growing and tolerant of poor soil. In Indonesia, the bark is commonly used as a coagulant for the manufacture of litsutsu, a traditional cheese-like product. Its wood is used for musical instruments. With its pinkish-white flowers, the lanete is a good roadside tree.
