Definitions
Century Dictionary and Cyclopedia
- n. A genus of apetalous trees, of the order Euphorbiaceæ and tribe Phyllantheæ. It is characterized by usually whorled entire leaves, and apetalous diœcious flowers, the numerous nearly sessile anthers large, erect, and densely crowded. The two species are natives of South Africa. They are small trees with very numerous rigid branches and coriaceous leaves. They bear axillary flowers, the pistillate solitary, the staminate forming dense cymes. T. Capense, the Hyænanche globosa of many authors, is the hyena-poison or wolveboon of the Cape of Good Hope, where its poisonous fruit is powdered and sprinkled upon raw meat for the purpose of killing noxious animals.
