   Cascarilla bark (or Cascarilla) (Med.), the bark of
      Croton Eleutheria. It has an aromatic odor and a warm,
      spicy, bitter taste, and when burnt emits a musky odor. It
      is used as a gentle tonic, and sometimes, for the sake of
      its fragrance, mixed with smoking tobacco, when it is said
      to occasion vertigo and intoxication.
