     The wood of the {Maclura tinctoria}, a tree growing in the

     Note: Other kinds of yellow wood are often called fustic; as
           that of species of {Xanthoxylum}, and especially the
           {Rhus Cotinus}, which is sometimes called young fustic
           to distinguish it from the {Maclura}. See {Fustet}.
