Hippomane
''Hippomane'' is a genus of plants in the Euphorbiaceae described by Linnaeus in 1753. It is native to the West Indies, Central America, Mexico, Florida, Venezuela, Colombia, and Galápagos. Derivation of name The name of the genus references the Greek name ''hippomanes'' (applied by Theophrastus to an unidentified plant said to poison horses, sending them mad) - this being a compound of the Greek elements ἵππος (= ) ''horse'' and μανία (= mania) ''insanity / frenzy'' - hence "sending horses insane".

Hippomane Mancinella
The manchineel tree (''Hippomane mancinella'') is a species of flowering plant in the spurge family (Euphorbiaceae). Its native range stretches from tropical southern North America to northern South America. The name "manchineel" (sometimes spelled "''manchioneel''" or "''manchineal''"), as well as the specific epithet ''mancinella'', are from Spanish manzanilla ("little apple"), from the superficial resemblance of its fruit and leaves to those of an apple tree. It is also called beach apple. A present-day Spanish name is ', "little apple of death". This refers to the fact that manchineel is one of the most toxic trees in the world: the tree has milky-white sap which contains numerous toxins and can cause blistering. The sap is present in every part of the tree bark, leaves, and fruit.Dean, Signe (4 January 2016"The horrifying experience a radiologist had after eating fruit from the 'tree of death'" ''Business Insider'' Description ''Hippomane mancinella'' grows up to tall.

Hippomane Spinosa
''Hippomane spinosa'' is a plant species in the family Euphorbiaceae. It was described by Linnaeus in 1753. In Haitian Creole, the plant is known as ''pomme zombi'' (zombie apple), and in Dominican Spanish, it is known as ''manzanillo'' (chamomile). Like the related manchineel (''H. mancinella''), its toxicity makes it resistant to deforestation by locals. Distribution and habitat The plant is endemic to the island of Hispaniola in the Caribbean (in the Dominican Republic and Haiti). It is found in the Hispaniolan dry forests The Hispaniolan dry forests are a tropical dry broadleaf forest ecoregion on the island of Hispaniola (split between the Dominican Republic and Haiti). They cover , around 20% of the island's area. Geography The dry forests are found mostly on ... ecoregion.Acevedo-Rodríguez, P. & Strong, M.T. (2012). Catalogue of seed plants of the West Indies.

Euphorbiaceae Genera
Euphorbiaceae, the spurge family, is a large family of flowering plants. In English, they are also commonly called euphorbias, which is also the name of a genus in the family. Most spurges, such as ''Euphorbia paralias'', are herbs, but some, especially in the tropics, are shrubs or trees, such as ''Hevea brasiliensis''. Some, such as ''Euphorbia canariensis'', are succulent and resemble cacti because of convergent evolution. This family has a cosmopolitan global distribution. The greatest diversity of species is in the tropics, however, the Euphorbiaceae also have many species in nontropical areas of all continents except Antarctica. Description The leaves are alternate, seldom opposite, with stipules. They are mainly simple, but where compound, are always palmate, never pinnate. Stipules may be reduced to hairs, glands, or spines, or in succulent species are sometimes absent. The plants can be monoecious or dioecious. The radially symmetrical flowers are unisexual, wit ...
