Bloodwood \Blood"wood\, n. (Bot.)
   A tree having the wood or the sap of the color of blood.
   [1913 Webster]

   Note: Norfolk Island bloodwood is a euphorbiaceous tree
         (Baloghia lucida), from which the sap is collected
         for use as a plant. Various other trees have the name,
         chiefly on account of the color of the wood, as
         Gordonia H[ae]matoxylon of Jamaica, and several
         species of Australian Eucalyptus; also the true
         logwood ( H[ae]matoxylon campechianum).
