Logwood(Haematoxylum campechianum)是豆科植物Fabaceae中的一種開花樹種,原產於墨西哥南部和中美洲北部,在經濟上仍然具有重要意義,並且在較小程度上仍然具有重要意義。 The modern nation of Belize grew from 17th century English logwood logging camps.伯利茲這個現代國家來自XNUMX世紀的英國伐木營地。 The tree's scientific name means "bloodwood" (haima being Greek for blood and xulon for wood).該樹的學名意為“血木”(haima是希臘語,代表血液,xulon代表木材)。
