 Manc. is a species of the Euphorbiaceae, and has all the virulent properties of the family in a high degree. It is one of the trees around which the upas legends have clustered. It is certain that the juice, which resembles pure white milk, does possess a considerable amount of acridity, and that some persons suffer great pain from incautiously handling it. Perhaps its most dangerous property is that of causing blindness, if by chance the least drop of the milk, or smoke of the burning wood, comes in contact with the eyes. Doctor Seeman states that at Veraguas some of the ship s carpenters were blinded for several days by the juice getting into their eyes while cutting down Manchineel trees; while he himself suffered from temporary loss of sight from merely gathering specimens; and that the same accident happened to a boat s crew from making a fire. Salt water is said to be an efficacious remedy (Treas. of вot. Manc. was introduced into homoeopathy by вute, who proved it. It was also proved by Mure and Ackermann.
