La Ventosa Diidxazá Lexico-Botanical Dictionary: Example 123

Word senses:

paraisu This name is used to refer to two different species of trees that are not native to Mexico and are currently scarce in La Ventosa. The first is <Moringa oleifera> of the Moringaceae family. This tree is known in Spanish as <San Jacinto> or <moringa>. It reaches a height of 8 meters and produces white flowers. Its fruit is a long, green pod that measures up to 30 centimeters in length. The second species is <Melia azedarach> of the Meliaceae family. Known in Spanish as <paraíso morado>, it reaches a height of 3 meters and produces lilac flowers and round, green fruit. Both species flower in March, during the dry season. The flowers of one of the species, possibly <Moringa oleifera>, are said to be edible and can be prepared in scrambled eggs. It is important not to confuse the two species, as <Melia azedarach> has been described by botanists as having toxic properties. Both species can be used for a body brush as part of a cure for fright. Other medicinal properties have also recently been attributed to them. To treat tooth inflammation, the leaves are broken up, soaked in alcohol and then placed on the inflamed part of the face.
