Macaw Tree
the name given to several species of trees of the genus Acrocomia, natives of tropical America, as A. fusiformis and A. sclerocarpa, the fruit of which last yields an oil of a yellowish color of the consistence of butter, with a sweetish taste and an odor of violets, used by the natives of the West Indies as an emollient in painful affections of the joints, and largely imported into Great Britain, where it is sometimes sold as palm oil, to be used in the manufacture of toilet soaps. is
