Brazil Wood
From BiblePortal Wikipedia
Brazil Wood [1]
(1): A very heavy wood of a reddish color, imported from Brazil and other tropical countries, for cabinet-work, and for dyeing. The best is the heartwood of Caesalpinia echinata, a leguminous tree; but other trees also yield it. An inferior sort comes from Jamaica, the timber of C. Braziliensis and C. crista. This is often distinguished as Braziletto , but the better kind is also frequently so named.
(2): The wood of the oriental Caesalpinia Sapan; - so called before the discovery of America.
