* The Spaniards call this tree manzanillo, deriving it from the Spanish wora 
manzana (an apple) which the fruit of this tree very much resembles. 
+ The fruit of the mandrake was by the antients cal'ed love apples , and we may 
infer the antiquity of the popular notion of its virtues from Gen. c« xxx, v. 14, &c* 
As to the root resembling the human form, is an artful fable to deceive the igno¬ 
rant and credulous, who have sometimes been imposed upon with fictitious images 
shaped from the fresh roots of bryony , angelica , and other plants, pretending to be 
from the mandrake. 
X The bark of the mangrove tree is said to answer the same purposes in tanning 
as the oak bark .
