CIDE DICTIONARY
bloodwood, n.
A tree having the wood or the sap of the color of blood. [1913 Webster]
"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 Hæmatoxylon of Jamaica, and several species of Australian Eucalyptus ; also the true logwood ( Hæmatoxylon campechianum )."
[1913 Webster]
