Logwood (Haematozylon campechianum, L.). 
Bririso.—West Indies—Jamaica, Mauritius, British Hon- 
duras, &e. Forrrgn.—Hayti, San Domingo, Mexico, &e. 
In 1913, 8137 tons, value £42,534, from British Possessions, 
and 1492 tons, value £8,167, from Foreign Countries, were 
imported into the United Kingdom. A recent market report 
quotes £8 to £9 per ton. 
The tree is a native of Central America and is shipped largely 
from Yucatan, where the Logwood cutters distinguish four varieties 
of the wood—‘‘ Tinta Negra,”’ ‘‘ Tinta Maria,”’ ‘‘ Tinta Catzim,”’ 
and ‘‘ Tinta Amarilla Catzim,’’ according to the dye content. 
It has been naturalised in Jamaica, the most prominent British 
source of the wood, and has been introduced to Mauritius, 
Nigeria, and other Colonies. 
‘* Bastard Logwood ”’ is of no value for dyeing purposes, and 
the cause of the difference in the wood appears to be uncertain; 
botanically, no differences can be observed, and no distinguishing 
characters are evident until the trees are cut. Experiments have 
been undertaken (1903) at Hope Gardens, Jamaica, and the New . 
York Botanical Gardens with seedlings of the trees producing 
normal and abnormal dye-wood to find out if possible the cause 
of this difference. For further particulars see K.B., 1916, p. 221, 
and Add. Ser. ix. Part 11. p. 253. 
Fustic (Chlorophora tinctoria, Gaud.). 
Bririsu.—West Indies, Guiana. Forreran.—Brazil. 
A dye-wood. Value on the London market £6 to £7 per ton. 
The ‘‘Osage Orange’’ (Maclura aurantiaca, Nutt.) has been 
used in Texas as a dye-wood, and is recommended as a substitute 
for Fustic (see Agric. News, Barbados, Aug. 14th, 1915, p. 262). 
The tree is a native of North America, and the wood known there 
“Bow wood” is largely used for fence-posts, paving 
as 
blocks, &c. 
Camwood (Baphia nitida, Lodd.). 
Bririsn.—West Africa. 
The heart wood is used as a dye, the value of which may vary 
from £5 to £12 per ton. A good deal of information will be 
found in K.B., 1906, p. 373; 1908,- p. 192; and Add, Ser. ix.. 
Part ii. p. 246.
