\Blood"wood\, n. (Bot.)
A tree having the wood or the sap of the color of blood.
Note: 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 H[ae]matoxylon} of Jamaica, and several
      species of Australian {Eucalyptus}; also the true
      logwood ({ H[ae]matoxylon campechianum}).
