Ebony \Eb"on*y\, n.; pl. Ebonies. [F. ['e]b[`e]ne, L. ebenus,
fr. Gr. ?; prob. of Semitic origin; cf. Heb. hobn[imac]m, pl.
Cf. Ebon.]

polish or gloss. The usual color is black, but it also occurs

Note: The finest black ebony is the heartwood of Diospyros
reticulata, of the Mauritius. Other species of the
same genus (D. Ebenum, Melanoxylon, etc.), furnish
the ebony of the East Indies and Ceylon. The West
Indian green ebony is from a leguminous tree (Brya
Ebenus), and from the Exc[ae]caria glandulosa.
