This dye-wood is the produce of a large tree growing to the height of sixty or seventy feet on the mountains and other parts of India. It is usually imported in small billets two or three feet in length, of a fine deep red color, the concentric circles of the transverse section being divided by dark, almost black, lines, with different mordants it yields brownish red, scarlet red, deep crimson, and yellowish red. These colors are not, however, very permanent. Another dye-wood, also called red sandalwood, the native name of which is Rutka-ehundun, is the production of the largest trees of India. Neither of these must be confounded with the sweet-scented sandalwoods which are furniture woods.
