Corymbia Eximia
''Corymbia eximia'', commonly known as the yellow bloodwood, is a bloodwood native to New South Wales. It occurs around the Sydney Basin often in high rainfall areas on shallow sandstone soils on plateaux or escarpments, in fire prone areas. Growing as a gnarled tree to , it is recognisable by its distinctive yellow-brown tessellated bark. The greyish green leaves are thick and veiny, and lanceolate spear- or sickle-shaped. The cream flowerheads grow in panicles in groups of seven and appear in spring. Known for many years as ''Eucalyptus eximia'', the yellow bloodwood was transferred into the new genus ''Corymbia'' in 1995 when it was erected by Ken Hill and Lawrie Johnson. It is still seen under the earlier name in some works. Description The yellow bloodwood grows as an attractive gnarled tree, up to tall. It can have a multistemmed stunted habit when growing on an exposed site. The distinctive bark is a yellowish fawn colour, and flaky, rough in consistency with a somew ...

Corymbia Gummifera
''Corymbia gummifera'', commonly known as red bloodwood, is a species of tree, rarely a mallee, that is endemic to eastern Australia. It has rough, tessellated bark on the trunk and branches, lance-shaped adult leaves, flower buds in groups of seven, creamy white flowers and urn-shaped fruit. Description ''Corymbia gummifera'' is a tree that typically grows to a height of , rarely a mallee, and forms a lignotuber. Young plants and coppice regrowth have leaves that are paler on the lower surface, egg-shaped to lance-shaped, long and wide, and petiolate. Juvenile leaves are opposite on the stem for a few pairs, then disjunct. Adult leaves are glossy dark green, paler on the lower surface, lance-shaped, long and wide, tapering to a petiole long. The flower buds are arranged on the ends of branchlets on a branched peduncle long, each branch of the peduncle with seven buds on pedicels long.

Corymbia
''Corymbia'', commonly known as bloodwoods, is a genus of about one hundred species of tree that, along with ''Eucalyptus'', ''Angophora'' and several smaller groups, are referred to as eucalypts. Until 1990, corymbias were included in the genus ''Eucalyptus'' and there is still considerable disagreement among botanists as to whether separating them is valid. As of January 2020, ''Corymbia'' is an accepted name at the Australian Plant Census. Description Eucalypts in the genus ''Corymbia'' are trees, sometimes mallee-like, that either have rough, fibrous or flaky bark, or smooth bark that is shed in small flakes or short strips. Young plants and coppice regrowth have leaves that differ from adult leaves. The adult leaves are arranged alternately (strictly disjunct opposite, but appearing alternate), with oil glands. The flower buds are arranged in groups on a branching peduncle, each branch usually with seven buds, but with the pedicels of differing lengths, so that the infl ...

Baloghia Inophylla
''Baloghia inophylla'' is a rainforest tree of eastern Australia. It is also known as the brush bloodwood, as it occurs in brushes, (a nineteenth-century term for rainforest), as well as bloodwood, as the clear sap is blood red. Other common names include ivory birch and scrub bloodwood. Distribution Brush bloodwood occurs on the eastern coast of Australia from Mount Dromedary (36° S) near Narooma in southern New South Wales to Coen (13° S) in far north Queensland. It also occurs in New Caledonia, Lord Howe Island and Norfolk Island. The habitat is most types of rainforest except the cool temperate forests. Description It is a medium-sized tree, reaching in height and with a trunk diameter of . The trunk is usually cylindrical, though some tree bases are fluted. The bark is creamy brown, with reddish and brown markings. The bark also features raised squarish plates of bark. Leaves are thick and glossy, long. They are opposite, simple, not toothed, mostly oblong in sha ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Kino (gum)
Kino is a botanical gum produced by various trees and other plants, particularly bloodwood species of eucalypts (''Angophora'', ''Corymbia'', ''Eucalyptus'') and ''Pterocarpus'', in reaction to mechanical damage, and which can be tapped by incisions made in the trunk or stalk. Many ''Eucalyptus'', ''Angophora'' and ''Corymbia'' species are commonly referred to as 'bloodwoods', as the kino usually oozes out a very dark red colour. Kino flow in angiosperms contrasts with resin flow in conifers. The word ''kino'' is of Indian origin. In Australia, "red gum" is a term for kino from bloodwood trees and red acaroid resin from ''Xanthorrhoea'' spp. Composition Astringent tannin compounds are a major active component of kinos.Edited by Pearsall, J., and Trumble, B., ''The Oxford English Reference Dictionary'', Oxford University Press, Second Edition, 1996, The chief constituent of kino is kinotannic acid, of which it contains 70 to 80 per cent. It also contains kino red, a phlobap ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Haematoxylum Campechianum
''Haematoxylum campechianum'' (blackwood, bloodwood tree, bluewood, campeachy tree, campeachy wood, campeche logwood, campeche wood, Jamaica wood, logwood or logwood tree) is a species of flowering tree in the legume family, Fabaceae, that is native to southern Mexico,where it is known as ''Árbol de campeche'', and introduced to the Caribbean, northern Central America, and other localities around the world. The tree was of great economic importance from the 17th century to the 19th century, when it was commonly logged and exported to Europe for use in dyeing fabrics. The modern nation of Belize developed from 17th- and 18th-century logging camps established by the English. The tree's scientific name means "bloodwood" (''haima'' being Greek for blood and ''xylon'' for wood). Uses ''Haematoxylum campechianum'' was used for a long time as a natural source of dye. The woodchips are still used as an important source of haematoxylin, which is used in histology for staining. T ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Brosimum Rubescens
''Brosimum'' is a genus of plants in the family Moraceae, native to tropical regions of the Americas. The breadnut ('' B. alicastrum'') was used by the Maya civilization for its edible nut. The dense vividly colored scarlet wood of '' B. paraense'' is used for decorative woodworking.Baker (2004) '' B. guianense'', or snakewood, has a mottled snake-skin pattern, and is among the densest woods, with a very high stiffness; it was the wood of choice for making of bows for musical instruments of the violin family until the late 18th century, when it was replaced by the more easily worked brazilwood (''Paubrasilia echinata''). Plants of this genus are otherwise used for timber, building materials, and in a cultural context.
