Upas

“On the blasted heathFell Upas sits, the hydra-tree of death.”

“Farther on, there frowned a grove of blended banian boughs, thick-ranked manchineels, and many a upas; their summits gilded by the sun; but below, deep shadows, darkening night-shade ferns, and mandrakes.”

“No bird flies near, no tiger creeps;away with death upon its back.”
