| This tree, a relative of the avocado (Persea americana
MilL), belongs to the indigenous flora of the Canary Islands, where it is known as vinatigo. It is said that a person should not take a siesta or sleep under the tree because doing so will provoke a state of inebriation. Goats eat the foliage and branches with gusto, because it makes them "drunken." A psychoactive use has not yet been determined (vries 1993). |
