Dictionary of Science, Literature and Art · 1842 · p. 27
(Mancinella, the Spanish name.) A tree inhabiting the West India islands, and celebrated for its poisonous qualities. It is a erted that to sleep beneath its shade is to poison; and that the land-crabs found in the groves of manchineel become poisonous from feeding on its seeds. Although there is doubtle much exaggeration in these stories, no doubt exists of the deadly effects of manchineel juice when introduced into the system. [s. 721]
