Hippomane spinosa is a plant species in the family Euphorbiaceae.
It was described by Linnaeus in 1753. In Haitian Creole, the plant is known as ('zombie apple'), and in Dominican Spanish, it is known as ('chamomile'). Like the related manchineel (H. mancinella), its toxicity makes it resistant to deforestation by locals.
The plant is endemic to the island of Hispaniola in the Caribbean (in the Dominican Republic and Haiti). It is found in the Hispaniolan dry forests ecoregion.
