Samuel Johnson's Dictionary
Manchineel treenoun
The manchineel tree has male flowers, or katkins, which are produced at remote distances from embrios, which become round fleshy fruit, in which is contained a rough woody nut, inclosing four or five flat seeds: it is a native of the West Indies, and grows equal to the size of an oak: its wood, which is sawn out into planks, and brought to England, is of a beautiful grain, will polish well and last long, and is therefore much esteemed in cabinet-makers work: in cutting down those trees, the juice of the bark, which is of a milky colour, must be burnt out before the work is begun; for its nature is so corrosive, that it will raise blisters on the skin, and burn holes in linen; and if it should happen to flie into the eyes of the labourers, they are in danger of losing their sight: the fruit is of the colour and size of the golden pippen, by which many Europeans have been deceived; some of whom have greatly suffered, and others lost their lives by eating it, which will corrode the mouth and throat: the leaves of these trees also abound with a milky juice of the same nature, so that the cattle never shelter themselves under them, and scarcely will any vegetable grow under their shade; yet the goats eat this fruit without any injury. Philip Miller
Etymology: mancanilla, Latin.
