manicole

Next to the mangrove and mora, the most abundant vegetation is supplied by palms of various species. Of these the manicole palm (Euterpe edulis) is the most prominent, … Indeed, the dense "bush" there consists almost entirely of enormous numbers of manicoles …

For theſe erections [huts] not more than two articles are wanting; the firſt the manicole, by the French called latanie, and here paraſalla, or the pine-tree; and the ſecond the nebees, called by the French liannes, by the Spaniards bejucos, and in Surinam tay-tay. The manicole-tree, which is of the palm-tree ſpecies, is moſtly found in marſhy places, and is always a proof of a rich and luxurious ſoil.

It is unclear from the context which species of manicole is referred to.]
