WHAT DOES SAPANWOOD MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Caesalpinia sappan

Caesalpinia sappan is a species of flowering tree in the legume family, Fabaceae, that is native to Southeast Asia and the Malay archipelago. Common names include Sappanwood, Sapanwood,'Patanga- Chekke Sappanga' and Suou. Sappanwood belongs to the same genus as Brazilwood, and was originally called "brezel wood" in Europe. This plant has many uses. It possesses medicinal abilities as an antibacterial and for its anticoagulant properties. It also produces a valued type of reddish dye called brazilin, used for dyeing fabric as well as making red paints and inks. The wood is somewhat lighter in color than Brazilwood and its other allies, but the same tinctorial principle appears to be common to all. Sappanwood was a major trade good during the 17th century, when it was exported from Southeast Asian nations aboard red seal ships to Japan. Disease : Twig dieback Bark of Caesalpinia sappan...
