Manchineel is native to Florida<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Florida>in the United States <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States>, the Bahamas<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Bahamas>, the Caribbean <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caribbean>, Central America<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central_America>, and northern South America <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/South_America>.[1]<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manchineel#cite_note-1>The name "manchineel" (sometimes written "manchioneel") as well as the specific epithet mancinella is from Spanish<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spanish_language>manzanilla ("little apple"), from the superficial resemblance of its fruit and leaves to those of an apple <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple> tree. A present-day Spanish name is in fact *manzanilla de la muerte*, "little apple of death". This refers to the fact that manchineel is one of the most poisonous trees in the world.
