L. Cylindrica) is known as Bath songe or Veg. sponge. It is used for scrubbing and cleaning purposes, also used in packaging material, stuffing for pillows. mattresses etc. Whereas, L. echinata has medicinal value, fruits used in dropsy and bronchitis, and also in purgitives, but its use as bath sponge is not known.
