"They have poison from a certain tree the size
of the apple. No more is necessary for effect than
to pluck the fruit and moisten the arrow with it, or
to use a twig & do the like. When the leaves
are thrown into water the animals that drink
of it soon burst. Iaxvilla writes a 
few years later: "From what was witnessed
of its operation & effects there can be no
worse [crossed out: ?] found. We understood it to
be the milk of a small tree like mastick,
growing in [dry?] & steril [sterile] ground."

Please me the botanical name of
the Sweet pepper. Is it Mexican?
The Aztecs call it Chile. What is
the botanical name of tomato?

I do not find that either
of the these were found in N. Mexico, though
the musk mellon [melon] appears to have
reached Cibola a considerable time
before the Spainiards.
