Maclura tinctoria (L.) Steud.

Maclura tinctoria, formerly morus tinctoria^[1] and commonly known as Old Fustic or Dyer's mulberry^[2] is a medium to large tree of the Neotropics, from Mexico to Argentina. It produces a yellow dye called fustic primarily known for coloring khaki fabric for U.S. military apparel during World War I.^{[citation needed]} This dye contains the flavonoid morin.

Old fustic is not to be confused with Young Fustic (Rhus cotinus) from southern Europe and Asia, which provides a more fugitive colour.

Dyeing

Fustic is a bright yellow dye that is very color-fast when used with mordants. It is frequently combined with other dyestuffs and various mordants to produce a range of yellow and greenish colors:^[2]

• With woad or indigo: bright or Saxon greens
• With bichromate of potash: old gold
• With logwood and bichromate of potash: greenish yellows
• With copper sulfate: olive greens
• With ferrous sulfate: dark greens
