Roots form part of the mixture in Indigo cake. Normally used in black dye to improve the bad smell of indigo paste. Tony Cunningham notes: fuses indigo mix with (ritual) heat, stops fermentation and the associated smell (namata). In Mehara (Mesara), Kelara (Fatoua pilosa) roots used instead.
Bagian pangkal sampai akarnya untuk dicampurkan kedalam pasta Indigo. Biasanya digunakan dalam proses warna hitam untuk menyerap bau yang tidak sedap dari pasta Indigo. Menurut catatan Tony Cunningham : Bagian pangkal pohon sampai akar tanaman ini untuk mengeringkan pasta Indigo secara ritual, untuk mengurangi fermentasi dan bau di Namata. Sedangkan di Mesara yang digunakan adalah akar kelara (Fatoua pilosa).
