Fustic \Fus"tic\, n. [F. fustoc, Sp. fustoc. Cf. Fustet.]
The wood of the Maclura tinctoria, a tree growing in the
West Indies, used in dyeing yellow; -- called also old
fustic. [Written also fustoc.]
[1913 Webster]
Note: Other kinds of yellow wood are often called fustic; as
that of species of Xanthoxylum, and especially the
Rhus Cotinus, which is sometimes called young fustic
to distinguish it from the Maclura. See Fustet.
