The fustic tree. Large quantities of the
bright yellow wood of this tree are exported from South America
for the use of dyers, who obtain from it shades of yellow, brown,
olive, and green. A concentrated decoction of the wood deposits,
on cooling, a yellow crystalline matter called Morine. This tree
is sometimes called old fustic, in order to distinguish it from
another commercial dye called young fustic, which is obtained in
Europe from a species of Rhus.
