Etymology
Haematoxylon comes from Greek parts haema 'blood' and xylon 'wood', the same 'xylo-' you see in xylophone, because the tree's heartwood is deep red and was used as a dye. So Haematoxylon is the name for a small group of spiny shrubs and trees from tropical America known for their 'blood-coloured' wood.
